Authorities said the women walked into Citizens Bank near Tannersville on Monday and one brandished a handgun, demanding money from a teller, while the other stood near the door. Each woman was wearing a black nun's habit and veil. One woman was also wearing sunglasses.
Authorities believe a teller set off an alarm that spooked the women, who fled empty-handed. Investigators don't believe the women are real nuns.
The FBI says the women are considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information is urged to call the FBI at 215-418-4000.
