Teen arrested for Canandaigua bank robbery

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) – Rochester Police Officers responded to a hold-up alarm at the Canandaigua National at 1341 Mt. Hope Ave. on Tuesday afternoon.

The suspect had already fled with an undisclosed amount of money when officers arrived. Officers later located the vehicle involved, which was reported stolen from the city earlier that day. Two teens were detained—a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old.

The 15-year-old was not charged and was released to a parent. The 16-year-old male was charged with robbery and also had an outstanding Family Court Warrant. He was arraigned in front of a Family Court Judge on the robbery charge and released early Wednesday.

He was arraigned later that day for the outstanding Family Court warrant, after which he was remanded to a juvenile detention holding facility and turned over to the Monroe County Sherriff’s Office.
