A female crime wave

Manchester – In mid-November, a woman walked into the Crosstown Variety on the West Side, asked for a Polar Express lottery ticket and then told the clerk to surrender the money in the drawer.
The clerk -- a Bronx-born woman who isn't scared easily -- was so startled that she asked the customer if she was serious, said the store owner, Imtiaz Saeed, in a recent interview. His store has been robbed before, he said, but that was the first by a woman.
"A robber's a robber," Saeed said, "if they're going to come rob you, they're going to come rob you. More dangerous, less dangerous. You can't really compare."
His was not the only store recently stuck up by the fairer sex. Manchester has been experiencing a spate of robberies at the hands of women. Lisa Lundstrom, 29, of Manchester has been charged with the robbery of both Crosstown Variety and AK&A Market on Nov. 14.
Police are looking for Danielle Dubay, 21, to charge her with the robbery of Store 24, also on Nov. 14.
