FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP – A Bridgeton man is charged with a hold-up reported Tuesday at the Newfield National Bank in Malaga.

After getting the money, he took off in a Mazda 5 headed north on Delsea Drive.
Investigators issued an alert to neighboring law enforcement agencies. The suspect was soon spotted heading north on Route 42, near Route 295.
