TRENTON, New Jersey (WPVI) -- An off-duty Trenton police officer is being hailed as a hero for preventing an armed bank robbery on Monday.
Officer Ja'Neice Worley, a three-year veteran with the Trenton Police Department, was working as a security guard when a robbery suspect walked into Wells Fargo Bank with a gun and demanded money, according to investigators.

No injuries were reported.
When Officer Worley was congratulated, she said, "I'm a Trenton Cop, it's what we do! I'm just glad I was there to prevent the robbery and I'm glad that no one got hurt."
