Police are investigating a robbery outside a Flower Mound bank after a masked suspect grabbed cash from a woman who had just made an ATM withdrawal, authorities said.
According to information released on Tuesday, Flower Mound police officers responded around 2:23 p.m. on New Year’s Eve to Chase Bank, 4101 Cross Timbers Road, following a robbery report.
