Bank Robber Claimed to Have Bomb: Police

 A man claiming to have a bomb robbed a Hyattsville, Maryland, bank last week. 

Investigators say the man walked into the Capital One on Annapolis Road with a box under his arm just before 5 p.m. Friday. The bank robber passed the teller a note demanded money. The note also indicated that the box contained a bomb. 

The suspect took the money and left the bank, leaving the box behind. 

The Prince George's County bomb squad x-rayed the box and found nothing. 

No one was injured during the robbery.
