Diana Ahlen, 34, held up a branch of the Sparkasse bank in the eastern city of Chemnitz, Germany, yesterday, armed with a bread knife.
In her other hand she clutched her little girl.
She demanded several thousand euros from a female cashier who managed to trigger a silent alarm linked to two police stations just 500 yards away.
Armed cops surrounded the bank in the city's Hainstrasse within five minutes.
Police spokeswoman Jana Kindt said: "The police stormed the bank and the woman gave herself up immediately.
"She later said she resorted to a bank robbery because she was in dire financial straits."
Her daughter was sent home to her father.
The woman appeared before a judge in the afternoon — and was bailed.
Incredibly she then set off to try to rob another bank.
Armed with another knife she tried the same procedure — and was arrested again within minutes.
This time she was denied bail.
If at first you don't succeed, fail, fail again.
