COVENTRY, R.I. (WPRI) — For the second time in a month, a Cranston woman faced a judge on bank robbery charges. This time, Shannon Sampson was ordered held without bail.

Police arrested Sampson at Warwick Mall Saturday night after they say she robbed the Citizen’s Bank on Tiogue Avenue in Coventry earlier in the day.

Police said a woman entered the bank around 12:15 p.m., passed a note to the teller demanding money, then took off with a small amount of cash.

Investigators determined the suspect – seen in surveillance images wearing a black scarf or hoodie over her face – was the same woman arrested in connection with another bank robbery in Cranston earlier this month. During that robbery, police said she got away with $10,000.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by Eyewitness News, Sampson’s mother saw the surveillance photos of the robbery and turned her into police.

Sampson was free on bail from the first robbery when, according to police, she went to a friend’s house Saturday to get a ride. While they were stopped on a street, police said Sampson got out of the vehicle, robbed the bank, and got back into the car.

Police said they don’t believe the driver of the car knew that Sampson was accused of robbing a bank. As of now, he is not facing charges.

Police reviewing surveillance footage from the Coventry robbery recognized Sampson from the first robbery and released her identity. Later that night, a security guard at the Warwick Mall saw Sampson and called police.

Earlier this month, police said officers arrested Sampson in an Attleboro motel room Feb. 10. Officers said she was found lying in bed with cash all around her. According to The Providence Journal, Sampson told police she was a dancer at a Providence strip club.

According to the court website, she was released on bail following her first arraignment.Annie Shalvey contributed to this report.
