KEENE, N.H. — Police in New Hampshire have issued arrest warrants for a woman they say robbed a Keene bank and for a man who helped her.

Police are looking for 20-year-old Jeliessa Centra, who is formerly from Keene. They say she entered the Savings Bank of Walpole and passed a note to the bank teller at about 1 p.m. Tuesday. Police say a weapon was mentioned, but never brandished, and said Centra left with some cash.

They say Centra also is being investigated by New York authorities for her suspected involvement in an Aug. 15 bank robbery in Troy, and an Aug. 24 bank robbery in Albany.

A warrant also is out for 20-year-old Kamel Pickens. He is accused of being an accessory to the robbery and falsifying evidence.
