YORK COUNTY – A Baltimore, Maryland man was arrested after a bank robbery attempted in York County. On August 18 around 4 p.m., officers responded to M&T Bank on East Forrest Avenue in Shrewsbury. The suspect, a 30-40 year old black male, dressed as a female, handed a note to bank employees demanding cash. However, the individual left without obtaining any money and was seen walking towards Main Street. Officers canvassed the area and a local business provided crucial video surveillance footage.
