Woman Wielding Box Cutter Knife Robs Bank In Grand Forks

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — Authorities are searching for a woman suspected of robbing a Grand Forks bank with a box cutter knife.

The holdup early Wednesday afternoon at a Bremer Bank prompted three schools in the area to go into lockdown status as precaution.

Police Lt. Derik Zimmel tells WDAZ-TV that there were no customers in the bank at the time of the robbery. No employees were injured.

The robber fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.
