1. A "very fidgety man" was reportedly seen robbing a local bank, and Lakewood police are looking for leads. On Aug. 22, the unknown man held up a note to the teller’s window at the PNC Bank at Detroit and Robinwood Avenue. The robber allegedly took the note with him as well as the money, then fled on foot with a large black bag. It is unclear if he was armed at the time of the robbery. (cleveland.com)
