A Huntington Beach couple were arrested Tuesday after the husband robbed a bank of $7,000 and his wife drove the getaway car, police said.

Thomas Patrick Kehn, 56, and Maryann Catherine Kehn, 53, were arrested in connection with the robbery of a Wells Fargo Bank branch at 7950 Westminster Blvd., Police Sgt. John Leahy said.

According to police, a man entered the bank at 10:06 a.m. and gave a teller a note demanding money. After the teller gave him the money, the man fled in a 1981 maroon Chevy Chevette driven by a woman, police said.

The money was recovered from the car, police said.
