Full SizeGoldsboro police arrested one person and are looking for another in connection to the Aug. 2 robbery of Wells Fargo on East Ash Street.
Monquitta Yvette Kees, 46, also of 912 S. Slocumb St., is charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and felonious accessory after the fact.
Police said Andre Lavarr Coley, 44, of 912 S. Slocumb St., is wanted for common law robbery, and is believed to be in Maryland.
Maj. Anthony Carmon, head of the Goldsboro Police Department's Investigative Services Bureau, said police are not yet sure of the pair's relationship, though they share the same address.
Coley allegedly walked into the bank, slipped a note demanding money to a teller and left with an undisclosed amount of cash.
He then reportedly got into the same vehicle he arrived in, which was a four-door SUV, and fled the scene.
Carmon said Kees is not believed to be the person who drove the car away from the bank.
He declined to go into how she was an accessory to the crime.
Carmon said police were able to find the car Coley reportedly arrived and left the bank in.
It has been relinquished back to its owner, who Carmon said was cooperative with police.
Nobody was injured during the robbery.
Anyone with information about Coley's whereabouts, or any other crime in Wayne County, is asked to call or text Crime Stoppers at 919-735-2255 or submit a tip at p3tips.com.
Callers will remain anonymous and if your information leads to a felony arrest, you will be given a cash reward for the information.
