Authorities arrested a man and woman after a bank robbery yesterday in Hanover County.

A gun-wielding man approached tellers at Union Bank & Trust in the 6400 block of Mechanicsville Turnpike about 4:45 p.m. and demanded money, authorities said.

Hanover investigators and Henrico County police already were in the area and quickly arrested Rufus L. Nuckols, 27, of the 15000 block of Scotchtown Road in Hanover's Montpelier area.

They also arrested Victoria N. O'Bier, 23, of the 4800 block of Castlewood Road in Chesterfield County. She was in a nearby vehicle.

Nuckols is charged with bank robbery and two counts each of armed robbery and use of a firearm in a felony. O'Bier faces charges of being an accessory, authorities said.

Both suspects are being held without bond at the Pamunkey Regional Jail.
