Police say Shanna Spalding, of Queens, N.Y., was arrested in downtown Manhattan Wednesday afternoon just minutes after a robbery.

On MySpace, the 28-year-old suspect is seen singing with a death-metal band called "Divine Infamy" under the stage name "Purgatory," reports the New York Post.

Photos obtained by Crimesider show the gothic princess rockin' out with her band.

Spalding is suspected of robbing four shoe and beauty stores in Manhattan and Queens between April and June.

Police say she wore several disguises during the burglaries, including a cat mask.

Spalding faces robbery and weapons charges.
