An Akron woman was arrested Wednesday on charges of robbing a PNC bank in the Wallhaven neighborhood on Tuesday morning.
Akron police cited tips from the public as the reason Malzena V. Lagarde, 51, was identified. Lagarde was charged with robbery, a felony.
According to reports, a woman went to the PNC branch at 1546 W. Market St. at 9:15 a.m. and handed a teller a note explaining a robbery was happening. She was not armed. The teller handed the woman — who was captured on video cameras — an undisclosed amount of cash, and she fled.
Police released photos from the surveillance cameras, and several tipsters identified Lagarde as the perpetrator.
