Court papers filed early Tuesday morning relay more details on the Monday evening robbery of a Bristol Township bank.
Police allege Alison Marie Martin, 30, of Bristol Township’s Levittown section, walked up to the Citizens Bank inside the Acme near Five Points along New Falls Road around 6:30 p.m. and demanded cash. A teller handed over about $3,000 and Martin ran off.

A responding officer reported seeing a woman matching Martin’s description walking along Bristol-Emilie Road about 10 minutes before the robbery call, court papers stated.
About 10 minutes after the robbery, two officers spotted Martin walking along the 100 block of Goldengate Road and stopped her. She was found to have a large amount of cash in her pocket, police said.
She was arraigned early Tuesday morning before on-call District Judge Joseph Falcone on charges of robbery, theft, and receiving stolen property. She was sent to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10 percent of $250,000 bail.

A short time after Martin was arrested, a second unrelated robbery happened in the Five Points area. Police said a thin 6-foot-tall Hispanic male who was wearing all black, including his hoodie, stole cash from a register at the Rite Aid and fled. The Rite Aid is about 400 feet from the front doors of the Acme.
As of Tuesday, police were continuing to work to identify and arrest the suspect.
