Authorities area seeking clues that will help them identify a blonde who held up a US Bank branch in Vista over the weekend.

The equal opportunity offender entered the bank at 245 Vista Village Drive in Vista shortly before noon on Saturday.

She approached a teller and handed over a bank withdrawal slip that had a note taped to the back demanding all of the cash, the FBI said.

In the note, she told the teller there was a partner watching who would shoot the teller unless the cash was produced.

After receiving an undisclosed sum of cash, the woman left through the bank's parking lot.

The woman is in her mid-20s to early-30s, witnesses told the FBI. She is no more than 5-feet, 7-inches tall, of medium build and weighs about 130 pounds.

Her hair was growing past her shoulders.

She was wearing dark sunglasses, a red baseball cap, red and white plaid long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, gloves and carried a dark colored purse or shoulder bag.
