FBI Looking For Bank Robber That Hit Cleveland PNC Branch

CLEVELAND — The PNC Bank at 4005 Chester Avenue in Cleveland was robbed Tuesday morning. The FBI is now asking the public for help catching the suspected robber.

The unidentified suspect came into the bank at 11:45 a.m. He got into line and then gave a note to the teller demanding money. The note said not to press the bank's alarm button. The teller handed over the cash and the man walked out of the bank.

The suspect was seen going southwest, across Chester Avenue. No one saw the man get into a car and no one was hurt during the robbery.
