A husband and wife bank robbery team
have been arrested in Utah after they took their two children along on the
heist, police say.
According to police records, the man and woman, both 27, were
arrested during a traffic stop on Monday soon after a Wells Fargo bank branch
was robbed.
Two children, ages 5 and 2, were in the back seat.
The Salt Lake
Tribune reports the married couple told police they robbed the
bank because they faced eviction and needed to pay medical bills.
Bank employees told police the woman entered the bank and showed
the teller a note demanding money.
After a bank teller gave her $956 (£640), the woman reportedly
ran to the car, which the man drove away.
Police said they searched the couple's vehicle and found the
robbery note along with hundreds of dollars in cash.
It is unclear what happened to the children
after their parents' arrest.
