Somewhere out there are two women who need to get down on their knees and beg for forgiveness — before the FBI finds them.

About 12:30 p.m. on Monday, the women, dressed in black-and-white nun habits, tried to rob the Citizens Bank in Tannersville, Pa., according to NBC 10 in Philadelphia.

One “nun” had a black handgun, authorities say. They are described as between 5 feet and 5 feet 2.

Though they demanded money, the sisters in crime made a getaway without getting any money. Authorities think they got scared when they thought a teller triggered an alarm.

Operation Wing and a Prayer?

They received no mercy from Twitter.
