Omaha Bank Heist Suspect Caught While Shopping Across the Street

Jail-Bars-and-Cuffs_mediumOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police have arrested a robbery suspect while she was shopping at a drugstore across an Omaha street from a bank branch that had just been robbed.

Police say a woman went into the U.S. Bank branch a little before 10 a.m. Tuesday and gave a teller a note. The teller gave the robber an undisclosed amount of cash, and the robber left.

Police say the robber then went across a street to the drugstore to shop and was arrested there. She was taken back to the bank branch, where witnesses confirmed to police that she was the robber.

The woman’s name hasn’t been released.
