TOOELE, Utah - Who says parents don't do things with their kids any more?

Then again, there are some things that shouldn't be a family affair -- like bank robbery.

Police in Utah say they've arrested a husband and wife bank robbery team that took their two young children along for the ride.

An arrest report from police says the man and woman, both 27, were caught Monday soon after a Wells Fargo branch was robbed.

A 5-year-old and a 2-year-old were in the back seat.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports the couple told police they robbed the bank because they faced eviction and many medical bills.
