Oliver Moniz, 27, was charged with first-degree robbery and first-degree hindering prosecution, and Tamira Durr, 19, was charged with first-degree robbery, police said Saturday.

The Waipahu couple allegedly used an unspecified weapon to hold up the bank at about 1:15 p.m. Wednesday. They left with an undisclosed amount of cash and were arrested later in Waipahu, police said.

Both remain in custody and are scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.

Woman accused of theft and extortion

Undercover officers arrested a 21-year-old woman Friday night in Ewa Beach after she refused to return a man’s car unless he paid her, police said.

A 54-year-old man called police late Friday afternoon to report that he let the woman use his car, but that she demanded money before giving it back.

The man arranged to meet with the woman, and police arrested her at about 11:40 p.m. on suspicion of second-degree theft and first-degree extortion.
