Three women charged in robberies of two banks

Montgomery County police arrested a trio of women suspected of robbing two Chevy Chase Bank branches since May.

On June 7, police said, Tanisha Beatrice Pierre, 22, and Nicole Howard, 23, entered the Chevy Chase Bank at 101 Halpine Road in Rockville and passed a note to a teller demanding money. The women fled in a 1996 Toyota 4-Runner with an undisclosed amount of money, police said. A few hours later, Pierre and Howard were arrested after police saw them getting into a sport utility vehicle outside Pierre’s home, authorities said.
