Mother and daughter arrested in series of Marion County bank robberies

Police claim 36-year-old Shamiya Hunt and 55-year-old Sierra Hunt robbed two banks on Oct. 25.

INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD arrested two women for allegedly robbing two Indianapolis banks.

Police claim 36-year-old Shamiya Hunt and her mother, 55-year-old Sierra Hunt, robbed two banks.

The robberies began on Oct. 7 at a bank on Corporate Drive in Indianapolis. The robber was able to get away with cash.

IMPD officers were then called to a second bank on East 86th Street on Oct. 8 and learned a woman left in a red Honda. Less than an hour later, officers were called to Castle Creek Parkway North Drive in Marion County.

On Oct. 25, Speedway officers were called to a bank on Cunningham Road and learned a suspect left in a red Honda. A couple hours later, a robber hit a bank on East 86th Street in Indianapolis. The getaway car was described as a red Honda with damage to a taillight and on each side of the car.

Police were able to use that description to make a match to a car driven by Sierra Hunt and used in bank robberies from April 2022.

Officers were able to track the car and pull it over near Stafford and Quaker roads in Hendricks County. Sierra and Shamiya were interviewed and Sierra denied being involved in any of the robberies. Police said Shamiya admitted being involved in the robbery attempt on East 86th Street, but not any of the other robberies. 

Anyone with information about the robberies should contact the IMPD Robbery Office at 317-327-3475.
