Modern Bonnie And Clyde' Wanted Over Robberies

A husband and wife dubbed a "modern-day Bonnie and Clyde" are wanted over a string of bank robberies up and down the East Coast.Joseph and Jennifer Carrier, of Quincy, Massachusetts, are suspected of committing raids in Massachusetts, Florida and Maryland during the last few weeks.
Police said the couple are robbing banks to feed their heroin addiction, but also to look after the seven Brussels Griffon toy dogs they are thought to be travelling with.
Sergeant C William Reiber told the Boston Herald: "I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm not expecting it to end with our bank.
"Not to sound like a cliche, but they're a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde.
"They're robbing banks and using the funds to support some sort of illicit activity."
He added that the dogs were likely to get them spotted, because "they may need to make frequent stops to let the dogs out".
The crime spree began on 28 September when a Country Bank was robbed in Ludlow, Massachusetts. Jennifer Carrier is wanted for stealing a car from a dealership in Quincy which was used after the robbery, police said.
The second robbery was at a Wells Fargo bank in Palm Coast, Florida, on 12 October. Joseph Carrier is accused of taking $800 after walking up to the county and saying: "I have a gun. Just give me your big bills."
On Friday, the couple are alleged to have robbed a Bank of America in Aberdeen, Maryland, before fleeing in a car towards Interstate 95.
