Woman Robs Tulsa Bank; Claimed to have Bomb

TPD

Tulsa Police are searching for a female bank robber. The woman entered the Bank of America at Pine and Martin Luther King, late this morning, and demanded cash from the teller.

The woman told the teller she had a bomb. The teller complied with the request and the bandit fled. She left the device behind for the Tulsa Police Bomb Squad.

The device appeared to be a cell phone with additional wires hanging out. Police took all precautions and had the area evacuated, while the bomb squad was called in to assess the situation. The bomb squad later determined the device was a hoax.
