WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has made significant progress in the investigation of a recent unarmed bank robbery on Georgia Avenue. Authorities have arrested one suspect, while a second individual involved in the heist remains on the run.
Arrest Made Following Thursday Robbery
The robbery occurred Thursday afternoon at approximately 2:55 p.m. at the Truist Bank located in the 6400 block of Georgia Avenue NW. According to police reports, two individuals entered the bank, where one of the suspects passed a note to a teller demanding money. Though no weapons were displayed or used during the incident, the suspects managed to flee the scene with a substantial amount of cash.
Bobby Ransome, 46, of Northwest D.C., has been charged in connection with the robbery. After swift investigative efforts by MPD officers and detectives, Ransome was located and apprehended. He now faces charges for his role in the crime.
