Each time she would arrive in the vehicles with Maryland license plates wearing a wig, a medical mask, and carrying a black duffle bag. She would then threaten to shoot tellers if they did not comply, although no gun was visible, the police detail in the multiple releases. 

After the money was placed into the bag, the 47-year-old would return to the vehicle she came in and leave the area. 

Daily Voice had previously asked state police if these robberies were connected and were told, "We aren’t confirming anything regarding the previous robbery right now."

Martin's arrest comes after an "extensive investigation" by PSP Chambersburg and McConnellsburg who obtained a search warrant for her Hagerstown home, which the Washington County Sheriff's Office executed; seizing $15,000 in cash found in the aforementioned duffle bag, according to PSP release late on Thursday.
