MEDFORD, Ore. — Medford Police say they have a suspect in custody in connection with a bank robbery Thursday.
Police say Amy Marie Bender went into the Mechanics Bank off of Poplar Drive and East Mcandrews road. According to Medford Police, Bender entered the bank wearing sunglasses, a medical-type face mask and rubber gloves. Officers say she showed a bank teller a note, indicating she had a weapon. She was then given an undisclosed amount of money and left.
A witness got her license plate as she left the area, and called the police. From that information, police learned the registered owner of the vehicle is a resident in the Klamath Falls area. Just after three that same day Bender was located and arrested in Klamath Falls. She was brought back to Jackson County and booked in the jail.
She’s being held on charges of robbery in the second degree.
