Judge lowers bond for teen in bank heist case

? Two young women charged with stealing nearly $11,000 in a Acworth bank heist went on a shopping spree, ate a meal and even gave money to the homeless afterward, a police detective testified Thursday, as the judge lowered the bond for one suspect.

Police Detective Brad McEntyre testified during a probable cause hearing for Heather Johnston.

Johnston, 19, and Ashley Miller, 18, the so-called Barbie Bandits, are charged with felony theft and marijuana possessions and remain in jail since the Feb. 27 heist. Miller has waived her right to the hearing.

Magistrate Court Judge Frank Cox agreed that there was probable cause to pursue the charges against Johnston. He also agreed to reduce her $26,000 bond to $10,000.
