POTOMAC, MD — A Germantown man was arrested Wednesday morning in connection with a bank robbery Tuesday afternoon in Potomac, Montgomery County Police said.

Detectives from the police department’s major crimes division arrested Kevin Figueroa-Funez, 24, and charged him with robbing a bank.

At about 1:50 p.m. on Tuesday, police responded to the report of a robbery at the Capital One Bank in the 10200 block of River Rd., near the intersection with Falls Road in Potomac.
