( KRON ) — An Oakland woman faces 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of bank robbery, the Department of Justice announced Friday. Yasmin Charisse Millett, 22, was accused of committing “at least 10 bank note robberies” across Vallejo, Suisun City, Benicia, Concord, Antioch and Sacramento from June 2023 through September 2024, according to court documents.
The Justice Department said Millett would enlist coconspirators and teach them how to rob banks and credit unions. The suspects were taught to enter the businesses “with sunglasses, a purse, and a threatening demand note.”
On July 17, 2023, court documents said Millett and two others committed one of the bank robberies at a credit union in Suisun City. One of the suspects entered the business while Millett remained in a stolen Audi A7. A note was passed to a credit union employee which demanded money and threatened to shoot them if orders were not followed. After getting the cash, the trio fled in the car.

During a search of the car, officers found bait money from the robbery and a crumpled Post-it demand note with the message: “Don’t Make eye contact Don’t look suspicious Don’t Push emergency Button Put smile on your face or I will shoot.”…
