Around 10:30 a.m., a man with a cane walked into the Citizens Bank branch at 6 Ave. de Lafayette, gave a teller a note demanding money and got some. Police suspect the cane was a prop because he ran out of the bank. He's white, about 5'10" and wearing a blue jacket that says "US Polo Association" on the back.

I think its safe to say, he probably didn't escape via the T.

Just look for a man riding a polo horse.

I'll never understand why that location gets hit so many times a year. First off, it's in an office complex, so there are plenty of cameras around, not just those for the bank. Secondly, you don't just walk right into the bank, you enter the complex, walk up the stairs, and then into the bank branch. There's really no way to be inconspicuous about it.

Then again, I have no idea why people are still attempting to rob banks, but that's another story altogether.
