Barbie Bandits are Strippers

The Barbie Bandits, a couple of young girls who robbed a bank branch in a grocery store, needed the money because evidently they weren't very good strippers.



They were seen on bank surveillance giggling and laughing as they demanded the money with a note, no weapon. They eventually got caught in part because the teller was an inside man on the job, which explains why he forked over the dough so easily. The incident caused such little stir that a customer standing behind them later told a reporter that she had no idea the bank had been robbed.

Now it turns out that Ashley Miller and Heather Johnston are 19-year old strippers.




They work the afternoon shift at Shooter Alley in Atlanta, one of the many Atlanta area strip clubs frequented by NBA players visiting the Hawks, and by Georgia Derek on his lunch break.

Miller -- stage name "Adrienne" -- and Johnston -- "Charlie" -- worked there for at least two months. A co-worker says "Charlie was always smiling, just a sweetheart. She just said she played tennis in high school. We talked about kids, relationships, never nothing about criminal stuff. Charlie was just innocent looking. She could make you laugh just by watching her dance. She could just look at you, stick her tongue out; it was funny, being kiddie."

The proceeds from the robbery were "significantly more than $500" but they never give exact figures on how much cash banks keep. Two days later Miller and Johnston went on a shopping spree at a Gucci store in Atlanta and got their hair done.
