A guy robs Bank of America, seems to forget about his mask

The Bank of America at 3500 Georgia Avenue in Park View was robbed on Tuesday, June 30th just before 1pm.

What struck me about this particular robbery comes from the MPD release about it — specifically the photos of the robber. From the photos, it seems the man entered the bank wearing a surgical mask (thanks COVID), and then proceeded to pull it down during the robbery. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He provides a pretty good look at his face and an identifying tattoo. Hasn’t he seen any bank robber movies? Luckily, there were no reported injuries. Full details below.
