HOUSTON— Think of it as another use for a patrol car.

Investigators say two bank robbery suspects were detained Monday shortly after a holdup in which some of the cash ended up tossed in a bayou.

KHOU-TV video shows a law officer laying out some of the recovered, soaked bills on a patrol car to dry.

A Harris County sheriff’s deputy happened to be at the scene when a bank was robbed. He followed the suspects as they drove away.

KHOU reports the chase led to a Houston apartment complex, where the man and woman fled. She was soon caught.

The male suspect was captured in some brush with the help of search dogs, leading to an area near Halls Bayou where some water-logged cash was recovered.
