The women showed their fake IDs to the teller and asked for a cash withdrawal of 5000 dollars on what is believed to be fake credit cards.

When confronted by police they said they were victims of trafficking and had been traveling with different men across the country making the withdrawals. They told police they had been dropped off by a black male in a white sedan nearby and given instructions about how to conduct the transactions. Both women were taken into custody and charged with Criminal Simulation and Conspiracy to Commit Theft over $1,000. Neither woman has been positively identified.
