WASHINGTON, D.C. – An unidentified suspect robbed a bank on K Street in Northwest D.C. yesterday morning, prompting an immediate investigation by the D.C. MPD. The incident occurred yesterday at around 9:20 a.m. when the suspect, implying that he had a gun, demanded cash from a bank teller at the 1700 block location, two blocks from the White House.
