RICHMOND HEIGHTS — A would-be bank robber apparently changed her mind midway through the crime, but police are still looking for her.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the woman walked into a Commerce Bank branch in Richmond Heights on Saturday morning and handed a note to the teller demanding money and indicating she had a gun. But authorities said the woman became impatient, retrieved the note and walked out without money.
