MEBANE, N.C. (WXII/WNCN) — A woman authorities believe has robbed jewelry stores across the Southeast, including one in North Carolina Monday, may be working with an accomplice. 
 
 The FBI on Tuesday released several photographs of the woman and of a man believed to be working with her. 
 
 A woman may be the same one who hit five jewelry store robberies in the South — netting more than $450,000 worth of goods — and then robbed a jewelry store Monday at Tanger Outlets in Mebane. 
 
 The incident was reported around 10:30 a.m. at the Jared Vault at 4000 Arrowhead Boulevard. No one was injured. 
 
 She may be working with a man caught on camera during robberies in Panama City Beach, Florida, and Dawsonville, Georgia. 
 
 Mebane police said the woman showed a handgun and ordered the employees to a back room before tying them up with zip-ties. In previous robberies of jewelry stores, the woman also showed a gun and tied up workers at the stores with zip-ties. 
 
 The woman fled with an undisclosed amount of merchandise, but so far has stolen more than $450,000 worth of jewelry in the six total robberies, officials say. 
 
 Police released a surveillance image of the suspect. She stands about 5 feet 8, weighs about 120 pounds and should be considered armed and dangerous, police said. 
 
 The same woman may be involved in similar robberies in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee, police said. 
 
 Before Monday, the last jewelry store she robbed was in mid-October in Tennessee. 
 
 Officials are also investigating similar robberies of jewelry stores in Florida, South Carolina and two in Georgia. 
 
 In October, authorities say the woman went into Reeds Jewelers in Panama City Beach, Florida with a gun. In this case, she told two store employees to go to the store’s restroom where she zip-tied their hands, just like in Sevierville, before getting away with more than $400,000 worth of jewels. 
 
 Police say she pulls out a gun and forces employees into the back where she then ties them up before stealing the jewelry. 
 
 The first robbery was a Jared in Woodstock, Georgia. The next robbery was at a Zales in Dawsonville, Georgia. There she stole jewelry worth $13,000. 
 
 A week later a woman robbed a Reeds in Panama City Beach. She hit that one for $40,000. 
 
 The next store hit was a Jared Vault in Tanger Outlet Two in Bluffton, South Carolina. The thief was described as wearing a blue or purple striped skirt, a lavender and black brimmed hat according to WJCL. 
 
 Police are trying to figure out if the robberies were committed by the same woman. 
 
 The methods are similar and all the stores that were robbed were chain stores at large retail shopping/ entertainment plazas. 
 
 If you can identify the woman, know her whereabouts or have any other information that can help investigators, you’re asked to call Mebane police at 919-563-9031 or Alamance County Crime Stoppers at 336-229-7100.

 RELATED LINK ||||| The brunette suspect — described as white, in her 20s or 30s, 5-foot-8 and 130 pounds — is believed to have knocked over six stores in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and North Carolina since April. 
 
 The most recent heist was Monday at a Jared Vault in Mebane, North Carolina, the FBI said. She forced two workers into a back room at gunpoint, zip-tied their hands and then piled jewelry from the cases into a shopping bag. 
 
 A male suspect — black, in his 30s or 40s, 6 feet and 250 pounds — was caught on surveillance cameras in three of the robberies. 
 
 "Both suspects are considered armed and dangerous," the FBI said. 
 
 Anyone with information about the suspects is asked to call 1-800-CALL-FBI (225-5324). ||||| Blake Fitzgerald and Brittany Harper, a Missouri couple now wanted in several states, are being investigated as possible suspects in a robbery in a small Florida town Wednesday afternoon. 
 
 The robbery happened at the Piggly Wiggly in Davisville, Florida. 
 
 Escambia County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Amber Southard said the robbery happened about 4:40 p.m. A white, bald male with a thin build entered the store, showed a gun to the clerk and escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash. 
 
 Update: Couple's run ends with gunfire in Florida 
 
 He was wearing blue jeans and an American Eagle sweatshirt. After leaving the store, he got into a pickup truck driven by a white female wearing a hoodie, Southard said. 
 
 Employees told NorthEscambia.com that an employee chased them briefly north on Highway 97 across the state line into Atmore. There were no injuries reported. 
 
 According to store employees, the couple was clearly Blake Fitzgerald and Brittany Nicole Harper, both age 31 of Joplin, Missouri. Employees said deputies showed them photographs of the couple from a law enforcement bulletin, and it was a certain match. 
 
 Authorities said there were several sightings of the pair in various Florida towns on Wednesday. They are investigating reports that the pair tried to pass a bad check at a store as far south as Orlando, and also that they were seen at a beach apparel store near Destin. 
 
 Milan, Tenn., police reported that Harper, Fitzgerald and two others tried to buy a vehicle with cash on Wednesday. They said the group was in a green 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Federal authorities, however, tell AL.com that the sightings in Tennessee are not believed to be Fitzgerald and Harper. 
 
 Fitzgerald, a convicted felon who has three children, and Harper are now sought for crimes in Missouri, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. 
 
 
 
 Joplin police Cpl. Chuck Niess said Fitzgerald is a suspect in a Jan. 22 break-in at the home of a doctor. At least two guns were taken, and police believe those are the guns Fitzgerald has used in the Alabama and Georgia crimes. 
 
 There is also a burglary investigation underway from a break-in at Fitzgerald's grandmother's home in which he is also a suspect. Niess said he's not at all surprised at the accusations against Fitzgerald. 
 
 "This is exactly the same stuff he was doing here,'' he said. "The Joplin Police Department hopes he is caught quickly before he does harm." 
 
 Missouri's Cape Girardeau County Sheriff's Office Capt. David James said Fitzgerald and Harper are suspects in two stolen car cases there. On Jan. 26, a black Cadillac was stolen from X-treme Powersports, a used car lot in Webb City, Missouri. Two days later, lawmen spotted the stolen Cadillac and tried to pull the car over. The driver refused and the chase was on, James said. Ultimately, deputies lost sight of them. 
 
 Later that day, James said, the couple is believed to have broken into a Cape Girardeau home. The suspects gained entry by smashing through a glass window. There was no one home at the time. They left the stolen Cadillac in the garage and stole the red Chevrolet Trailblazer that they would then drive to Alabama. James said the FBI in Missouri has been working with the FBI in Alabama. 
 
 In Alabama, police say they robbed a Tuscaloosa hotel and kidnapped 26-year-old night clerk Kyle Dease at 6 a.m. Sunday. From there, they drove to Hoover where they attempted to carjack Zora Harris, a McDonald's manager arriving to work about 7:45 a.m. at the fast-food restaurant on U.S. 31 across from the Riverchase Galleria. 
 
 Just 15 minutes later, police say the pair carried out a home invasion in Vestavia Hills, where they kidnapped a woman and took her Ford Edge. Both Alabama kidnapping victims were released unharmed. 
 
 More than 36 hours later, Georgia police said Fitzgerald and Harper robbed a Perry gas station, abducting the 19-year-old clerk from that store. She, too, was released unharmed about 15 miles down the interstate. 
 
 Florida investigators said no one was kidnapped in the Piggly Wiggly holdup Wednesday. 
 
 Multiple law enforcement agencies are searching for Fitzgerald and Harper, including the U.S. Marshals and the FBI. The Marshals are offering a $10,000 reward for their capture. 
 
 The couple is considered armed and dangerous, and shouldn't be approached. 
 
 "I guess they see themselves as some kind of modern-day Bonnie and Clyde,'' said Cape Girardeau's James. "They seem to be getting more and more desperate."
– A woman believed to be in her 20s or 30s held employees of a Jared Vault jewelry store in Mebane, NC, at gunpoint on Monday before making off with jewelry piled into a shopping bag. But this wasn't her first rodeo: The FBI says the same brunette has robbed five other jewelry stores across the South since April, including in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee, netting more than $450,000 worth of bling, per WNCN. A black man in his 30s or 40s, weighing about 250 pounds, was spotted by cameras during three of the robberies, reports NBC News. The FBI says both suspects "are considered armed and dangerous."
