A pensioner stole £10,000 from a bank in Peru without anyone noticing.
The woman, nicknamed the Silent Grandma by the local press, stole the money from the Sul-Americano Bank in Lima, reports Terra Noticias Populares.
She waited outside the bank manager's office until he came out, then entered, took the money and left within a few minutes.
After looking at CCTV footage, the only conclusion the police have reached so far is that the woman seems to be around 65 years old.
A police spokesperson said: "She was extremely discreet. We are beginning to think she committed the perfect crime. But we will study the footage over and over to try and find out more about her."
