Pflugerville mom, son arrested in bank robbery

A Pflugerville woman and her 16-year-old son were arrested Wednesday and charged with robbery, after several citizens tipped off police following a bank hold-up on Interstate 35.

The Bank of America in Round Rock was robbed for the second time this year Wednesday afternoon. According to Round Rock police, a small male wearing a bandana over his face used a handgun in the heist.

The same bank was robbed January 10.

Citizens who noticed suspicious activity nearby tipped off police, who followed two people to a home in Pflugerville.

Police say they collected evidence that linked them to the crime, and Diedre Lynn Blackburn, 45, later confessed. Her 16-year-old son was also taken into custody.

Police say the pair is also suspected in several other area bank robberies and their investigation continues.
