Armed thief holds up TCF bank in Uptown

An armed man with "a distinctively British accent" robbed an Uptown bank in Minneapolis and remained at large Sunday, authorities said.

The holdup occurred about 5:50 p.m. Wednesday at the TCF Bank branch at 1444 W. Lake St., just west of Hennepin Avenue, the FBI said in a statement.

The man approached the teller, displayed a semi-automatic pistol and demanded cash, the FBI said.
