Instead of a bag with her order, she got a bag containing the restaurant’s morning bank deposit — about $2,000.
An employee said she was working the drive-through window and mistakenly gave the customer the bank deposit. The manager explained it was store policy to put the bank bag containing the deposit in a Taco Bell bag. The manager would then drive up to the drive-through window, and an employee would hand him the bag.
Police contacted a customer who was in line behind the SUV. He said he could not remember the license plate on the SUV. He and the employee described the driver as a college-age woman with black or brown shoulder-length hair, wearing a white T-shirt with a red sweater, zip-up jacket or sweatshirt over it. Her driver’s window apparently didn’t work because she had to open her door to get the bag. The vehicle has bumper stickers on it.
A search through the neighborhood for the vehicle was fruitless.
When last seen, the SUV was heading south on Brown Street.
