FBI asks for help in finding D.C. bank robber

WASHINGTON – FBI agents are looking for a man who robbed a bank in Southeast just before 11 a.m. on Wednesday. Investigators are hoping someone recognizes the man, who they consider dangerous.

Investigators say the subject passed the bank teller a note demanding money at the Capitol One Bank branch located at 336 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE. He was armed but did not display his weapon, investigators say. The man took an undisclosed amount of money and left the bank.
