A Colorado babysitter is accused of using two children she was watching to help her rob a bank — a heist allegedly planned to help her pay back money stolen from her employers.
According to the Weld County sheriff's office, 28-year-old Rachel Einspahr went to the drive-thru at the Colorado East Bank & Trust in Severance on Friday after picking the children up from school. She allegedly sent a note through the vacuum tube demanding money for a man in the back of her SUV threatening to hurt the children.
The teller, believing the children were in danger, gave her $500, sheriff's spokesman Matt Turner said.
The children were not hurt, and investigators determined there never was a man in the vehicle with them.
The Greeley Tribune, citing an arrest affidavit, reported Tuesday that investigators believe Einspahr wanted to rob the bank to pay back $15,000 of the money she previously stole.
According to the document, Einspahr, who is in jail, wrote the note for the teller while on a side street away from the bank and removed her license plates before she went to the drive-thru. After the robbery, she took the children to a park so she could put the plates back on.
