A man wearing what was said to be a burqa robbed a bank Tuesday in Montgomery County, county police reported.
A burqa is a loose garment worn by Muslim women that generally covers the face and most of the body.
Police said the robbery occurred about 4:20 p.m. at a TD Bank branch in the 3100 block of Briggs Chaney Road in the Silver Spring area. They said a man entered, showed a gun and demanded money. He received an undetermined amount and fled.
Police said he wore "a long black burqa over his face," and also wore blue jeans.
