Bank robber, 53, and getaway driver, 68, arrested by Benicia PD

( KRON ) — The Benicia Police Department identified three individuals connected to a bank robbery in East Second Street in Benicia on Wednesday. Two of the three individuals were arrested, police said.

On March 18, Benicia police responded to reports of a bank robbery at the Bank of the West Branch on First Street. Police say cash was taken, but the amount was undisclosed. After robbing the bank, the suspects fled the scene in a Cadillac sedan which, as a result, was flagged in the city’s Automated License Plate Reader system on Wednesday.

Police located the Cadillac on East Second Street with three occupants inside.

One passenger, a 53-year-old man from Vacaville, was identified as the suspect from the Benicia bank robbery last week. The driver, a 68-year-old man from Fairfield, was determined to be the getaway driver. The third occupant, a 74-year-old woman from Vallejo, had a warrant from Solano for an unrelated case.

Both men were also persons of interest for other bank robberies in “multiple cities” that Benicia police dub “worth nothing.”

Both men were arrested for the Benicia bank robbery and booked into Solano County Jail. The woman was also taken into custody for the outstanding warrant and has been identified as Cheryl Jefferson, 74, of Vallejo.

This is an active investigation. Anyone with helpful information is encouraged to contact the Benicia Police Department at (707) 745-3411 .
