Teen Girls, Ages 14 and 15, Charged With Robbing Bank in Fall River

Police say one teen told a teller at BayCoast Bank she would "blow everything up and kill everybody"

Police in Massachusetts have charged teenage girls ages 14 and 15 with robbing a bank.

Fall River police say the 14-year-old girl walked into BayCoast Bank on Troy Street on Wednesday afternoon and told a teller she would "blow everything up and kill everybody" if the teller did not hand over cash.

A bank employee handed the girl an "undetermined" amount of money and she left.

The girl was seen on surveillance video getting into a black Toyota Camry outside the bank allegedly driven by the older girl.

Police got a look at the license plate and traced the car to a home in the city where they found the girls.

Both are charged with armed robbery. Their names were not released because of their ages.
