Morgan Hill Police arrested a teenager Thursday for attempting to rob a bank inside a local grocery store, according to a press release. Officers responded to the Safeway grocery store at Tennant Station about 5 p.m. in response to an attempted robbery of the US Bank inside the store, the press release from MHPD said.
