Police arrested a 32-year-old man who allegedly robbed a Center City bank and left behind a hoax bomb.
Investigators say Paul Raffa approached the counter of the PNC Bank at 1111 Market Street on Thursday with a note attached to a bag indicating a bomb was inside and demanded money.
Police later discovered the bag contained a water bottle.
Raffa fled the scene with over $3,000 in cash.
