MERCED, Calif. (KFSN) -- A disguise didn't quite work as planned for one man and his accomplice in Merced.
Merced Police arrested a man and a woman connected to three robberies at checking cashing stores.
The robberies happened between June 26th and today.
In all three cases, witnesses identified the robber as a man dressed in a wig and women's clothing using a black handgun.
After the third robbery this morning, investigators used surveillance video to track down the suspect's vehicle, which led them to an apartment where they arrested 33-year-old James Hogan.
63-year-old Barbara Bryant was also taken into custody.
Both were booked into the Merced County Jail on several charges including robbery.
