Police are looking for a pregnant woman they say tried to rob a North Carolina bank at gunpoint but left empty-handed after answering her cell phone.
Fayetteville police spokeswoman Teresa Chance said Wednesday the woman had a handgun and demanded money when she entered a Carter Bank & Trust branch at 9:43 a.m. the previous day.
But she got distracted when her cell phone rang.

Police said she began talking to the caller and left the bank without taking any money.
No one was hurt.
Chance said investigators talked to a teller who heard the woman but aren't releasing details.
