Cobb police announced on Thursday night the arrest of two young women in a Tuesday bank holdup, and revealed a twist in their investigation: The alleged robbers are 19 and were working in cahoots with the bank teller.
The teller has also been arrested, along with a fourth person. Police did not immediately say how the fourth person was connected.
The arrest caps two days of intense media scrutiny into the robbery at a Bank of America branch inside a Kroger store in Acworth. Police credited publicity that led to a solid tip and the arrest.
You beat me to it. However, this story has everyone's names and ages.
March 1, 2007 - Four people were arrested Thursday night in the robbery of a bank in a supermarket by two young women who made a splash with surveillance video showing them fashionably clad in sunglasses and smiling during the holdup.
A bank teller and two 19-year-old women were among those charged with theft, Cobb County Police spokeswoman Cassie Reece said. Another man also was arrested.
"It was a conspiracy to take money from the bank," Reece said. "They were in on it."
She said the two women, who she identified as Ashley Miller and Heather Johnson, and bank teller Benny Herman Allen III, 22, were stopped Thursday by police about 20 miles from where Tuesday's robbery occurred.
The fourth suspect was identified as Michael Chastang. Authorities did not immediately provide his age, hometown or other identification.
Douglas County Sheriff Maj. M.O. Harper said police from Cobb County, where the robbery took place at a Kroger's branch of a Bank of America, chased the trio into the neighboring county where deputies were called in to apprehend them. Harper said the three were immediately turned over to Cobb County authorities for questioning.
Images captured from the surveillance video by police show the robbers wore nothing but dark sunglasses to disguise their faces as they handed a teller a note demanding cash Tuesday afternoon.
Police also declined to release the contents of the robbers' note and the amount of money stolen. Spokesman officer Wayne Delk said only it was "considerable."
The store is in a strip mall in an upscale west Cobb residential neighborhood, about 28 miles north of Atlanta.

IIRC the teller arrested the day of the robbery on a warrant from another county.
The article has no pics!
Were they hot?
Ashley and Heather -- couldn't we have given them those first names just by looking at them!???
At least one of them definitely looked Not Guilty to me.
Well, there goes my theory about it being Irish Travellers from SC trying to pony up dowry money. Good thing I'm not in law enforcement.
The Brunette definitely made her do it! I'd bet the blonde was a hostage!!
Trust me, they're both not guilty. That is just a bad pic of the brunette. I saw another one and she looked much better in that one.
Pictures!
;-)
Absolutely. And a happy, perky, hot, hostage at that.
LOL!
Reminds me of the movie "Sugar and Spice".
Jenna and Barbra Bush?
Why in the world would these girls ruin their lives? Is this stunt just a big joke to them ala "The Simple Life." They will be felons and probably spend time in the clink. What a waste. I feel bad for their parents.
LOL!
