CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) -

A mother and son suspected of robbing a north Charlotte bank were appointed a public defender in court Monday.

Police got a 911 call about a robbery at about 6 Friday evening. 

An officer on the way to the bank observed two people at a nearby bus stop who had the ink used in bank dye packs on their clothes. They also matched the descriptions of the robbery suspects.

The officer stopped and questioned the man and woman at the bus stop. He then searched them, and discovered a note that appeared to have been used in the bank robbery, as well as the cash from the bank.

Detectives charged Carlos Lamonte Simpson, 21, and his mother Pamela Simpson, 48, with common law robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.

Their next court date is November 16.
