Abby Catt, a resident of Texas, USA who is presently in her
twenties was just 18 years old when she went on a Bank heist along with her
father Scott Catt accompanied by her brother Hayden Catt who
was 20 years in
August 2012. According to Abby, her father used to enter each Bank with pellet
guns and wearing disguise while she used to wait outside in the gateway car.
In an interview to a local newspaper, Abby said, “I was
scared. It was just something you just want it to be over with. My dad would
yell at me to not drive fast so I didn’t.” The Catt family got away with as
much as $50,000 from the Comerica Bank in Katy, Texas in their first Bank heist
and by their second robbery at the First Community Union Credit Union in Katy,
Texas in 2012 they has stolen almost $108,000 together.
Later police were able to identify them by the construction
worker vests Scott ordered his children to buy for disguises and on November 9,
2012 they were all arrested.
Scott was sentenced to 24 years in a Texas prison and Hayden
was given a sentence of 10 years while Abby received a sentence of 5 years.
Abby used her prison time wisely by studying and learned sewing.

a local restaurant. “I am doing wonderful this Christmas season. I have a
better life, a whole new life. I’ve been very blessed,” she said. Abby’s story
is another example that crime makes one pay she is an inspiration to hundreds
of thousands of people all around the world that it is possible to break the
shackles of crime and lead a honest life.
