HTN: Three Suspects Picked Up in Elba Bank Robbery

Three bank robbery suspects who triggered a major manhunt yesterday through Genesee County faced a judge last night in Elba Town Court. 26-year-old Dennis Abrams Jr., 25-year-old Demone Dillion and 24-year-old Michael Wells have been arraigned on first-degree robbery charges for knocking over the M&T Bank at 7133 Oak Orchard Road in Elba. As officers conducted a house-to-house search, all Genesee County schools were put on lockdown. Two men were picked up shortly after the robbery, but Wells eluded police for about six hours. All three were taken into custody without incident. Police recovered a handgun from one of the suspects. A second gun found with the money was found to be a fake. Abrams, Dillion and Wells were being held in the Genesee County Jail on no bail.
