bank robbery
Armed financial institution
Bank robbery is the crime of stealing money or valuables from a bank, typically through force, threat, or intimidation.
Unlike burglary, which involves breaking in undetected, bank robbery usually confronts employees or customers directly: The bank robbery lasted only three minutes before the suspects fled.
The term covers everything from armed holdups to passing a note to a teller.
