KINGSTON, Pa. - A 21-year-old robbery suspect is jailed in Luzerne County thanks to the efforts of the 71-year-old victim and his friend in a wheelchair.

Harry Kopenis says he went to an ATM at a bank near his Kingston home yesterday morning and withdrew $100. Police said a woman came out of nowhere, knocked Kopenis down and took his money.

His neighbor Kevin Lamb was nearby in his electric wheelchair and the pair chased her down. *
