Ciara Brascom, 37, was arrested on Tuesday, Sept. 26, the Princeton Police Department said in a news release. She was wanted in an armed robbery at TD Bank.
Officers responded to a panic alarm at the State Road bank on Sunday, July 28. A teller then called 911 to report the robbery in progress.
Investigators said the suspect approached the counter, pulled out a black semi-automatic gun, and handed the teller a note that demanded money. The suspect got an undisclosed amount of cash and left the bank.
Police released surveillance photos from the robbery, showing a woman wearing a blue baseball cap, red glasses, a white T-shirt, tan pants, purple and black flip-flops, and a surgical mask. She was last seen walking south on Route 206 near the Exxon gas station on State Road.
