Bank Robbery
Boca Raton police are investigating a bank robbery reported just before 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, a police spokeswoman said.

While the teller was collecting the money the suspect opened a backpack, which contained a small black handgun, Boonenberg said. The suspect placed the money in the backpack and left the bank in an unknown direction of travel. No one was injured.
