Arrest made after bank robbery attempt, bomb scare in Pittsburgh

Bank workers told Engram they didn’t have cash inside the bank and he would have to go to the ATM outside, according to a criminal complaint.

When officers arrived, they found Engram outside with a backpack and arrested him, police said.

Because of the nature of the note, officers evacuated the bank and surrounding buildings as a precaution.

The Pittsburgh Police Bomb Squad and K-9s were called in and conducted a sweep of the area.

It was determined that there was no threat inside the backpack or in the area.

“It was just a normal book bag with, I think, like, papers and other stuff inside of it,” Maurice Matthews of Pittsburgh Public Safety said.

The surrounding streets were opened after nearly two hours.
