Mobile police have arrested three men wanted in connection with a bank robbery following a standoff at a home.

Sgt. Charles Bagsby says the Wachovia Bank at 2745 Government Boulevard was held up this morning. After conducting an investigation at the bank, clues lead police to a home on Myra Drive near Pleasant Valley Road.

Three bank robbery suspects and a child were in the home. Police set off whats called a "diversionary explosive device." All three suspects have been taken into custody. The child is also safe.

Bagsby says they are in the preliminary stages of their investigation, and more details will be released later.
