Re: Robbery Suspects of Century Bank in Custody.

Today at 9:49am Texarkana Arkansas Officers answered a robbery call at the Century Bank branch at 3615 East 9th Street. According to reports a white male had entered the bank, robbed a clerk of an undetermined amount of money, and left. Shortly after the man left the bank a witness reportedly saw a white colored station wagon leaving the area at a high rate of speed east on Highway 82. A special operation sergeant radioed Lafayette County Deputies about the incident. Shortly after receiving the information about the suspected vehicle Lafayette Deputies were in pursuit of a white colored station wagon as described by the sergeant.

The pursuit ended when the driver decided to elude law enforcement officers on foot and unknowingly stopped the car at the Stamps Police station parking lot. He and the others were immediately apprehended.

Three adult white males and one juvenile white female have been arrested on charges of Robbery and are currently being held by the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department. No bond has been set at this time.

The arrested are 20 year-old Brian N. Shuck of Northfield, Maine, 19 year-old Brendan Murdoch of Medford, Oregon, 18 year-old Mauro Lyons of Jacksonville Florida, and the 17 year-old white female of Ponte Verde Florida.

Pictures of the adults are being processed and will be available as soon as possible.
