Armed Teen Accused Of Robbing Truck Stop In Bikini Captured

The 16-year-old girl dubbed “The Bikini Bandit” accused of robbing a Riverton, Wyoming truck stop has been arrested.

The robbery took place at the South Federal Pit Stop Travel Center around 4 a.m on Monday.

According to the 911 call, the robber entered the truck stop wearing a bikini and something wrapped around her head. She pulled a gun on the clerk and was able to get away with approximately $300.

The clerk also noted that three minutes before the robbery took place, a female fitting the description of the Bikini Bandit walked into the store and tried to buy beef jerky. She didn’t have any money, so she left empty handed.

Police teamed up with the Bureau of Indian Affairs to locate the girl, who was listed as a runaway. She was arrested and faces charges of armed robbery.
