A man and a woman nicknamed the “Change-Up Bandits” have been robbing banks around the Chicago area, and according to the FBI, they both take turns dressing up as the opposite sex.

“Bank robbers obviously wear a variety of disguises,” said FBI Special Agent Joan Hyde. “And while we’ve had male robbers who’ve dressed as women in the past it is unusual to have a woman dressed up as a male and for them to be paired up together, dressing up as the opposite gender.”

The duo are currently wanted and investigators describe the suspects as a black male, 5 ft. 10 in. to 6 ft. 1 in. tall, approximately 200 lbs., in his mid-30s to late 40s, and a Hispanic female, 5 ft. 4 in. to 5 ft. 7 in. tall with a large build in her early- to mid-20s.
