    Delaware State Police are looking for a woman they say tried to rob two banks in four days, but fled emptyhanded both times.

    Troopers said in a news release that the woman went into a PNC bank in Claymont Monday afternoon and gave a teller a note demanding cash. Police say the woman left before receiving money.

    Authorities say the same woman tried to rob a PNC Bank in New Castle Friday afternoon. Police say the woman presented a note demanding cash, but fled before getting money.

    Investigators say the woman is 19-year-old Tamera Segal of Powder Springs, Georgia. Troopers have obtained warrants and are asking for the public’s help in finding her.
