Navahcia Edwards had previously worked at the TCF Bank branch in Palos Heights that was the scene of the holdup on May 29, according to the federal complaint.
Edwards and a male accomplice who has not been arrested both wore the nun outfits and displayed weapons during the takeover of the TCF Bank.
Records from a costume shop show that Edwards used her Visa card to purchase two “Nun on the Run adult masks” 10 days before the robbery, the FBI alleged.
Video surveillance from the bank matches the masks, according to the complaint. In addition, she also used a credit card to purchase the “Adult Funny Nun Costume” from another website, authorities said.
It is the second time in a month that federal authorities have slapped Edwards with charges in a bank theft. She was released on her own recognizance earlier this month after being charged with embezzling almost $20,000 in cash while working at a Chase Bank branch in Country Club Hills.
According to the new charges against her, Edwards appears to have robbed the TCF Bank so she could pay back much of the money she allegedly stole from Chase branch.
Edwards worked at the TCF bank for four months in 2010.
