(NBC10 News) FALL RIVER, Massachusetts -- Two teenage girls are facing armed robbery charges, according to authorities.
Fall River police said a 14-year-old girl walked into Bay Coast Bank on Troy Street Wednesday afternoon and “slid a note demanding money or she would blow everything up and kill everybody.”
Authorities said the girl “held her two hands tightly as if she was concealing something,” took an undetermined amount of money and fled the scene around 3:45 p.m.
During an investigation, detectives said they spotted several surveillance cameras in the area and determined the suspect’s path.
Video shows her leave the bank before getting into a dark-colored Toyota Camry with another girl.
“Detectives were also able to obtain a Massachusetts registration number for that Camry from a different camera, which took them to a Mulberry Street home,” police said, adding that they saw the Camry with the same Massachusetts registration in the yard.
“Upon knocking, no one would open the door. The door was then forced open. While speaking with the residents, a female walked through the hallway of the apartment,” police said, adding that she was wearing the same clothing as one of the robbery suspects.
They also discovered an apartment in the basement, where they found the second suspect. Investigators said they did not find any weapons on the girls.
Both girls were taken into custody and charged with armed robbery.
A source told NBC 10 News the girls are runaways. One is from Springfield and the other is from Fall River. Police said the teens are friends and do not live on Mulberry Street
Their names were not released due to their ages.
