Washington County District Attorney Jason Walsh announced Thursday that they now believe a Wellsburg, West Virginia man who is wanted in connection with the robbery last week of the First National Bank on Route Nineteen in North Strabane Township is the same man who robbed the Washington Financial Bank on East Wylie Avenue in Washington two days earlier.  Walsh said earlier this week that warrants had been issued for the arrest of Brandon Scerri and Kayla Pruett for the hold up of the First National  Bank and now, investigators believe Scerri is also the man who robbed the Washington Financial Bank on East Wylie Avenue in Washington two days earlier..  Authorities say say the two were identified using their tattoos and driver’s license photos, along with the description of their car, a blue-colored Ford Focus. Walsh says Scerri got away with more than seventy-four-hundred-dollars in the North Strabane robbery, but only a little over one-hundred and fifty-dollars in the Washington hold-up.  Police did not include Pruett in the arrest warrant for the Washington bank robbery.  (Photo:  North Strabane Township Police)
