A New Hampshire bank robbery investigation has led to the arrest of a man and woman in New York.
Police arrested Jeliessa Centra and Kamel Pickens, both 20, at a residence in Albany this morning.
They were arrested as fugitives from justice. Warrants had been issued in connection with a bank robbery in Keene on Sept. 13.
Police say Centra, who is formerly from Keene, entered the Savings Bank of Walpole and passed a note to the bank teller. Police say a weapon was mentioned, but never brandished. They say Centra left with some cash.
Pickens is accused of being an accessory to the robbery and falsifying evidence.
Police say Centra is being investigated in New York for her suspected involvement in bank robberies in Troy and Albany.
