3 Michigan Teens Arrested In Connection With Bank Holdup

BLOOMINGDALE, Mich. (AP) - Three western Michigan teenagers have been charged in connection with a bank robbery in Van Buren County.

The Holland Sentinel reports Friday that two girls — ages 16 and 17 — and a 15-year-old boy are jailed and are awaiting arraignment.

Police say bank tellers saw what appeared to be a weapon covered by clothing during Thursday's holdup in Bloomingdale, southwest of Grand Rapids.

Investigators were able to get descriptions of the suspects and the vehicle they were in from surveillance video and witnesses. An Allegan County sheriff's deputy later contacted officers on the case and told them he was familiar with a person matching one of the descriptions.

Authorities say all the money taken from the bank was found at the home of the one of the teens.
