Five Arrested in Attempted Bank Robbery

LAS VEGAS—The FBI and the Henderson Police Department have arrested five persons following an attempted robbery of a Henderson bank. Last Friday, November 13, 2009, five persons entered the Wells Fargo Bank at 1411 West Sunset Road and presented a false federal search warrant to the bank manager demanding all the money in the bank’s vault. When the bank manager refused to comply with the false search warrant, he was handcuffed and threatened. The five persons were placed under arrest by Officers of the Henderson Police Department as they left the bank, and were later taken into custody by the FBI.

FBI Las Vegas Special Agent in Charge Steven M. Martinez noted the outstanding police work performed by the Henderson Police Department in the apprehension of these five persons.

Arrested were Eric Griffin, 39, of Henderson, NV; Jonathan Miranda-Brewster, 25, of Orange County, CA; Jonathan Gray, 24, of Buena Park, CA; Brady Beach, 24, of El Toro, CA; and Ryan Williams, 30, of Fullerton, CA. Each of these persons is charged with bank robbery, and will appear before a United States Magistrate Judge for their initial appearance at 3:00 p.m. today.
