Zoomers are achieving all kinds of results in their later years, but not all of them are good.

Police say a 78-year-old woman, with two past bank robbery convictions, is behind bars in Pleasant Hills, Missouri after her third heist.

Bonnie Gooch, wearing a black N95 mask, black sunglasses and plastic gloves apparently walked into a bank, allegedly handed a note to a teller demanding $13-thousand in small bills, got some money and then left a note saying “sorry I didn’t mean to scare you,” then drove off with the cash.

Investigating officers eventually found her in her vehicle, smelling strongly of alcohol, with the cash strewn about the car.

And while she sits in crowbar hotel, and because of her age, police are trying to determine if any underlying health factors could have contributed to her little crime spree.
