IS NAVACHIA EDWARDS BEN AFFLECK STYLE ROBBER?

EDWARDS?
SHE'S  a nun on the run no longer, as cops say Navachia Edwards is one of the brazen robbers who held up a Chicago bank in a heist that looked like a carbon copy of Ben Affleck film "The Town."
Cops claim the 23-year-old she and an unknown accomplice escaped with $120,000 in cash after donning nun's outfits and masks exactly like the one featured in the movie which told the story of a Boston bank crew. 
Cops told the Chicago Tribune Edwards bought two "Adult Funny Nun Costumes" and two "Nun on the Run" masks with a prepaid debit card.
She was caught on a surveillance camera that allegedly captured the purchase.
White zip ties that resemble ones used in the TCF robbery, were also bought with the same debit card.
While investigators say the getaway car used in the robbery looked like one that Edwards had rented.
FBI spokesperson Ross Rice: "It's great physical and incidental evidence, but it took a great deal of effort to put all those pieces together." 
The paper said Edwards' boyfriend was seen checking out the bank a few hours before the robbery, according to the authorities, and had even been caught raising his leg up to the height of the counter, as if to see if it was possible to climb over.
Under FBI questioning, the boyfriend allegedly burst into tears and said "My life is ruined."
Edwards, a former teller, also faces bank embezzlement charges. She is accused of taking $20,000 from a Chase Bank branch where she worked in April. 
The Tribune said she took the money by replacing some $100 bills in bundles with singles, although on that occasion she promised to repay the money.
