ARLINGTON, MA — Arlington police are investing a bank robbery that occurred at the TD Bank Monday afternoon. Police indicated through twitter that the robbery occurred at 5:17 p.m. at the bank's 880 Massachusetts Ave. location.

“Arlington Police will diligently continue our search for this suspect,” Chief Frederick Ryan said in a statement. “I am once again amazed by the calmness and professional response of bank staff, which certainly contributed to the fact that, thankfully, no one was hurt during this evening's incident”
