It took hours for officials at a downtown Washington bank to realize they'd been robbed.Police said a man impersonating an armored car guard walked out of a Wachovia bank branch on Pennsylvania Avenue Thursday with more than $100,000, after officials let him sign for a locked bag of cash.About an hour after the robbery, a real Brinks guard arrived at the bank and was told that another guard had completed the day's cash pickup.Now that's how to rob a bank.
Police said the Brinks driver waited until he returned to his office to tell his supervisors about the failed pickup. Brinks officials contacted the bank, and a branch manager called D.C. police about 8 p.m. -- almost 11 hours after the theft.
