'F-Bomb Bandit' Allegedly Robbed Five Banks For $25 and a New Coat

By Tom Fucoloro March 31, 2010

A 16-year-old girl, dubbed the "F-Bomb Bandit" due to the profanity-laden notes she gave to tellers, said she received just 25 dollars and a new coat for her hand in five robberies in North Seattle, West Seattle, Kent and Renton, reports Maple Leaf Life.



Shennell J. Kennebrew, 16, has been charged with robberies here and in Renton, Kent and West Seattle, according to the court papers.


The girl, who was charged along with her boyfriend, another girl and a 40-year-old felon, told police she received $25 cash and a new coat for her role in the robberies.


Her 17-year-old boyfriend, Dasha Malcolm Taylor, also was charged, as was another girl, Jade Natasha Beers, also 17. The documents state that Keith Lamont Sims, a 40-year-old man with a state and federal criminal record, was also charged and may face a third-strike life in prison if convicted of the new charges.


After bank camera images of the robber were published and aired on television, detectives received two tips on March 2 that led them to Kennebrew’s home, where she was arrested, according to the documents. When her father arrived at the police station, he told officers that “he knew this day would come.”
