Two Arrested in Binghamton Bank Robbery (Update)
Two women are being held in connection with a daylight bank robbery of a downtown Binghamton bank.
20 year olds Quinnai Simmons, of Mount Vernonr, New York whom police identify as a SUNY Broome Community College Student and Ashley Texidor were picked up hours after a First Niagara Bank branch office at the corner of Court and State Streets in downtown Binghamton was held up shortly before 10:30 in the morning.
The branch was closed for about an hour after a reported robbery attempt.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
Police checked the nearby downtown bus station to try to determine if a suspect had boarded a bus to head out of Binghamton but officials say they, along with Cortland County Sheriff's officials, found that the women had apparently hailed a cab and were located in Marathon.
Authorities say the money allegedly taken in the heist has been recovered.
The investigation is continuing.
