RICHMOND, Va. — Authorities have arrested a 40-year-old man they say tried to rob a bank in Richmond earlier this week.

Police were called to the Suntrust Bank at 1101 Azalea Avenue at 1:10 p.m. Tuesday for a report of a robbery.

“Officers were told the suspect entered the bank and approached the teller with a note demanding money,” Koury Wilson, a spokesperson for Richmond police, said. “The employee told the suspect to sit down as she went to get the money. She then instructed another employee call police.”
