WA: bubble, bubble, toil and dye pack

Ken picked up this scary Halloween story from my neighborhood:

Rarely do police see someone botch a bank robbery, lose their disguise and immediately try again. But police are confident that's what happened after an exploding dye pack foiled a witch-costumed woman's attempt to rob a Lacey branch of Washington Mutual Bank on Halloween. She got rid of the costume and hit another bank 7 miles away half an hour later, detectives say.

The suspect is described as having a large bump - perhaps a wart - on her nose. No description was given of the getaway broom.
