NEW BEDFORD — A man and a woman charged with attempted armed robbery were ordered held in lieu of high bail following their arraignment Tuesday in District Court.

A clerk at Joe's Gas Station told police the man who attempted to rob the business wore a red cap pulled over his face with holes cut out for his eyes and nose.
That robber left after the clerk told him another employee was in the business, police report.
Police allege Ms. Cambra and Mr. Silva then drove down the street to the liquor store.
Ms. Cambra was arrested after she stepped out of the liquor store following the purchase of two nip bottles of liquor, police report.
