(Updated at 6:40 p.m.) Police responded to reports of a robbery at the Bank of America at 3401 Columbia Pike this afternoon. The bank is closed and both main entrances are blocked off as the police conduct their investigation.
The suspect is described as a male around 20 years old, wearing a black ski mask, black jacket and black pants. However, initial reports suggest he may have been taking off articles of clothing as he left. He implied he had a weapon and took off on foot.
Police officers and police dogs have been searching the area for the suspect.

I hope he gets away. Watched The Town last night, def on the young black guy’s side, as long as nobody dies.
Doesn’t say he was black. It says he was wearing black… Thass raycess.
I heard the robber was a woodbury heights resident trying to recoup the perceived decline in his home value. At least he didn’t do it in his own back yard.

Daily occurrence now. Yikes.
Just think, soon a trolly can be taken to escape from anything on Columbia Pike. Call it a Pike Ride.
I wonder if he just sauntered out of the bank and took the #23 or #41 bus to get away. Anyone think of getting footage from the bus cameras???
