Dorchester woman arrested in Braintree robbery

By Sarah Kneezle, Globe correspondent

Braintree Police said today they have arrested the woman suspected of robbing the Telephone Worker's Credit Union on June 21.

After police received several tips in response to the credit union's $10,000 reward, Ebony W. Agnew, 28, of Dorchester, was arrested shortly before 5 a.m. during a vehicle stop at the intersection of Blue Hill Avenue and Morton Street in Boston.

Agnew is charged with armed robbery and possession of a hoax device after she allegedly claimed to have a bomb during the robbery.

Police are also seeking a warrant against Damika Neal, 29, of Dorchester on the same charges. Police say Neal, who is in custody on unrelated charges, drove the getaway car.
