Bank employees handed over the money after the suspect used the identity of an actual bank customer.
The woman in the surveillance pictures doctored the drivers license of a 69-year-old Lake Worth woman and was able to correctly answer security questions posed by bank staff.
The victim noticed the withdrawal on her bank statement the next day and reported it to the Broward Sheriff's Office.
BSO believes the suspect has ties to Georgia as a debit card that was ordered on the victim's account had been mailed to an address in Stone Mountain.
