locations, and details are limited at this time.

counter during the course of the robbery. He fled with an undisclosed amount of
cash. A possible suspect is in custody in connection with this robbery.
Shortly thereafter, the TCF Bank branch

head-covering and dark glasses. The robber passed a note to a teller demanding
cash. He fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.

connection with either robbery.
