The three suspects in Thursday's bank heist in Elba have been indicted by the Genesee County Grand Jury on charges of robbery in the first degree, according to District Attorney Lawrence Friedman.
The trio will be arraigned on July 1.
The men were identifed after the robbery of the M&T Bank in Elba as Dennis M. Abrams, Jr, 26, of 202 Merrimac St., Buffalo; Demone D. Dillon, 25, 128 LaSalle Ave., Buffalo; and, Michael J. Wells, 24, 69 Camp St., Buffalo.
Following the robbery, the three men allegedly fled the scene leading to a massive multi-agency man hunt that lasted more than five hours.

I know it is a bit late to bring this up. However, is anyone else concerned that every school in Genesee county was locked down when this occurred except Genesee Community College? I was working there when this happened. Doesn't it seem slightly more likely that someone would hide and/or take hostages in a place that is remarkably easy to get into and has hundreds of people in it at a time (a thousand or so when normal classes are session)?
Public elementary and high schools are supposed to have all doors locked except for the front door. Generally, there is someone sitting at the front door of high schools and elementary schools directing visitors towards the office where they must sign in. These precautions/restrictions are not in place at many colleges and not at Genesee. Just thinking out loud.
