Police released images of the suspect Thursday from the banks' surveillance cameras but said they could not be absolutely certain that the same person was responsible for all three incidents.

Witnesses from all the cases gave police similar descriptions of a young, slim woman with brown hair.
In each case, the woman waited in the bank's customer service line, and once she got to the counter, produced a note demanding cash. She would immediately leave after receiving an undisclosed amount of money, said police.
The robberies happened in the afternoons of:
- March 19 — TD Canada Trust at 1216 Centre St. N.
- March 24 — TD Canada Trust at 3630 Brentwood Rd. NW.
- March 26 — Bank of Montreal at 8282 Centre St. N.
Calgary police said they would like to hear from anyone who has information about the woman in the surveillance images.
