Around 12:45pm on Dec. 14, the man in the photo shown here walked into the East 1st Street location of TD Bank, stepped up to the counter, and passed a slip demanding money, police say. A bank employee forked over approximately $1,900 to the suspect, who is described as being in his mid 20s or 30s, approximately 5’5″, and about 150 pounds. No one was harmed during the incident.
The bank, at 21 East First Street, is on the former site of Mars Bar. The infamous dive closed in 2011, but apparently the corner of First and Second still sees some wild behavior.
