Woman Bank Employee Steals From Customers

I found the title of the article a bit strange...why the emphasis on "Woman employee?"
Woman Bank Employee Steals From Customers: "RIYADH, 6 July 2005 — Police have arrested a Saudi female bank employee who is believed to be responsible for embezzling about SR4 million from customers’ accounts. The woman who allegedly embezzled the money was working in a managerial position at a ladies’ branch of a leading Saudi bank in Dawadami town, about 250 km west of Riyadh."
