Denver DA’s Office Charges “Glamour Shot Bandit” with Robbery (Casias)

DENVER—The Denver District Attorney’s Office has filed charges against Brianna Casias (age 19) for robbing or attempting to rob eight Denver-area banks. Casias was known as the “Glamour Shot Bandit,” for the flamboyant disguises she wore to conceal her identity. During each alleged robbery attempt, Casias never spoke but handed the bank teller a hand-written note demanding 100’s, 50’s and 20’s. The total loss to the eight banks was $16,861.

She is charged with one count of aggravated robbery (F3), one count of felony menacing (F5), one count of felony theft (F5), five counts of robbery (F4), two counts of criminal attempt to commit robbery (F5), and one count of tampering with physical evidence (F6). Casias allegedly engaged in a pattern of escalating violence by displaying a handgun and committing multiple robberies in one day.

Between March 22 and May 8, 2019, Casias allegedly robbed or attempted to rob the following banks:

March 22:        Vectra Bank, 3600 Quebec Street, Denver
April 1:            Key Bank, 6405 E. Hampden Ave., Denver
April 5:            Key Bank, 3410 E. 1^st Ave., Denver
