FBI: Man robs Philly bank with fake grenade
Authorities are looking for man they say robbed a downtown Philadelphia bank with a fake grenade.
Surveillance images show a man standing in the bank Tuesday with a note on the counter and what appears to be a green grenade in his right hand.
The man, wearing a black knit hat and a dark coat, took an undisclosed amount of cash and fled on foot.
Police found the device about half-mile south of the bank. The bomb squad determined the grenade was just a replica.
