French teen girl's bank robbing career over for now
I wonder if she is Léon fan.
CRETEIL, France (Reuters) - A 16-year-old French girl suspected of holding up seven banks was formally charged with armed robbery on Friday, a prosecutor said.
The teen was arrested on Wednesday as she was fleeing the scene of an armed robbery at an HSBC bank branch in the suburb of Maisons-Alfort, south-east of Paris.
Investigators believe the girl played a crucial role in six previous bank robberies since the beginning of July, threatening staff with a gun to force them to open security doors to let in two or three masked accomplices.
The hold-up gang made off with hundreds of thousands of euros (dollars) after spraying tear gas into the banks to cover their escape.
The teen robber had no previous criminal record and her family was not known to police.

Mathilda: I've decided what to do with my life. I wanna be a cleaner.
Léon: You wanna be a cleaner?
[passes her a gun and bullets]
Léon: Here, take it. It's a goodbye gift. Go clean. But not with me. I work alone, understand? Alone.
Mathilda: Bonnie and Clyde didn't work alone. Thelma and Louise didn't work alone. And they were the best.

Mathilda: How old were you when you made your first hit?
Léon: Nineteen.
Mathilda: Beat you!
