UPDATE ON BESSEMER BANK ROBBERY

A man and a woman suspected in Monday's robbery of the RBC bank are in custody, authorities said today. Andre Wallace, 32, and Jawana Jackson, 23, were arrested by Birmingham police Tuesday evening, said FBI spokesman Paul Daymond. They are also being held in the Bessemer City Jail on state charges for the unrelated robbery of Bob's Storage in March, Daymond said. They haven't been formally charged in Monday's holdup. A man armed with a handgun and wearing sunglasses and a wig robbed the bank just before noon, leaving with an undisclosed amount of money. Daymond said he would release more information as it becomes available.
