'Granny Robber' nabbed?

CINCINNATI - POLICE in Ohio have arrested a 68-year-old woman on a bank robbery charge - and they want to know if she's the so-called 'Granny Robber' they've been seeking since last May.

Police in the southwest Ohio town of Franklin say a woman handed a note to a teller in a Huntington Bank branch on Friday and made off with an undisclosed amount of money.

Officers said Barbara Joly of Middletown was arrested a short time later, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported.

Investigators say Joly had sunglasses and a scarf with her. Those were items an older woman wore during four bank robberies in the area since May. -- AP
