Morris is incarcerated at the Douglas County Jail and the juvenile is in a “local youth detention facility,” both on unrelated charges. Urena’s whereabouts are unknown, the department said in a release.

On Nov. 3 around 10:30 a.m., a male and female suspect walked into the Georgia’s Own Credit Union on Loganville Highway in Loganville. They walked up to a teller and gave the teller a note indicating the female suspect had a bomb.

The teller gave the two suspects cash, and the suspects escaped in an SUV driven by another male suspect who was waiting outside. The lead detective on this case believes the trio drove to Douglas County and committed a similar robbery.

Anyone with information on Urena’s wheeabouts is asked to contact Gwinnett County detectives at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Crime Stoppers tips may be rewarded with up to $2,000 if they lead to an arrest or indictment.
