FONTANA, Calif. — A crime analyst who put together a flyer for the "Granny Bandit" wanted in a series of armed robberies in Southern California helped police arrest the woman after she spotted the suspect during
Fontana Police Chief Rod Jones thanked the analyst for helping detectives catch 51-year-old Dodi Wasbotten on Wednesday, hours after she allegedly robbed a woman outside a Target store.
Police had been searching for a woman suspected in four stickups in as many days. Victims
described being held up by a middle-aged or elderly woman outside department stores. They said the woman also took off in a dark sedan.
Jones said Wasbotten's sedan matched the vehicle description, and that items belonging to one of the victims were found inside her car.
