City of Anderson police officers began searching for the suspect on Nov. 28, after employees at Sally’s Beauty Supply in Anderson reported an armed robbery that had just occurred.
“The clerks of the business reported being confronted by a white female adult wearing a face covering who was armed with a knife and demanded money,” Anderson PD said of the robbery. “The female suspect stole money from the cash register and left with an undisclosed amount.”
Over the next two weeks Anderson PD officers and detectives obtained physical evidence at the scene which was submitted to the California Department of Justice for latent fingerprints and DNA analysis.

“Officers continued their investigation and were able to identify the suspect through additional investigative means,” and a warrant was issued for her arrest, APD continued.
