Atwells Avenue bank robbed

PROVIDENCE -- The police are investigating a bank robbery on Atwells Avenue this afternoon.

A woman in her 30s entered the Bank of America branch at 215 Atwells Ave. at about 1 p.m. and passed a note to a teller indicating that she had a gun, according to Providence police Capt. Hugh Clements. No gun was shown.

The woman made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Clements said that the branch had been robbed before, but he thought the last time was more than a year ago.

More details to come...
