The Boise Police Department is searching for a potentially armed suspect after police alleged he robbed a bank off of Overland Road.
At 10:13 a.m. officers responded to a report of a bank robbery at the 6900 block of West Overland Road, according to a Twitter post from Boise police. Spokesperson Haley Williams told the Idaho Statesman by email that “the bank is a victim,” so the department declined to identify the bank.
