2 bank robbery suspects arrested at Anchorage airport

ANCHORAGE — Two men suspected of robbing an Anchorage bank were arrested early Friday at the city’s main airport.

The FBI says airport police recognized 23-year-old Kaleem Fredericks and 23-year-old Calel Crofford from pictures release by the FBI.

Airport police held the men shortly after midnight and they were arrested by FBI agents.

Two men on Thursday morning — one carrying a shotgun and one with a handgun — robbed a Wells Fargo branch on east Fifth Avenue.

They carried off cash in a duffel bag.

Fredericks and Crofford are in custody awaiting their first court appearance.
