GRANTS PASS, Ore. - Two people are under arrest in connection with a bank robbery in Grants Pass Monday afternoon.
The Grants Pass Department of Public Safety says 37-year-old Erica Fay Anderson robbed the Umpqua Bank on Midland Avenue at about 2:15 p.m. Monday, and then went to pick up her two daughters from Highland Elementary School.
Authorities say she presented tellers with a demand note, and then fled with the cash. However, they say an alert citizen turned in a description and plates of a suspicious vehicle that investigators connected to Anderson. She was arrested at her home.
Meanwhile, 19-year-old Joshua Kemp Deeter Tseu of Grants Pass was arrested at his home, accused of driving the getaway vehicle used in the robbery.
Both are lodged in the Josephine County Jail, each facing charges of Robbery in the 2nd Degree and Theft in the 1st Degree.
Anderson's daughters were turned over to the Department of Human Services.
