Chesterfield police arrested a man and woman last week who allegedly robbed the Wachovia Bank branch at 13200 Hull Street Road. Police believe the man is responsible for similar robberies at the same bank branch on Aug.14 and Oct. 12.

According to police, Waldron allegedly entered the bank on Nov. 13 wearing a wig, approached a teller, displayed a gun, and then demanded money. No one was injured during the robbery. He allegedly fled the bank, and was seen getting into the passenger side of a vehicle.
