Outlaw women

I know robbery is wrong and all that, but something about this story seems pretty bad-ass:

Gun-slinging females, some sporting fake beards, have conducted four stickups in Jasper County in the past 11 weeks in what investigators are calling an unusual, baffling crime spree.

It conjures images of women outlaws, both real and fictional: Belle Starr, Calamity Jane, Bonnie Parker.
One of the robbers was arrested recently, but the other members of this “quasi-gang of bandits” are still on the loose. Upstanding citizens and Tobacco Outlet owners of southeast Texas, beware.
