Christopher McNeill, 42, and Dillon Surrett, 30, are allegedly connected to a string of bank robberies in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, according to WJZY-TV.

They were arrested Thursday in Virginia by U.S. Marshals and Fredericksburg police, who said they used McNeill's billfold information to locate the suspects.

McNeill faces charges of attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon and Surrett with aiding and abetting, according to WBTV.

Both men are awaiting extradition, the station said.
