Three armed men robbed Provident Savings Bank on Greenmount Ave. of an undisclosed amount of cash Tuesday afternoon.

One suspect pointed a .22 cal sawed off rifle at the bank manager and ordered the four employees and two customers present at the time to lie on the floor. The two other suspects leaped over the counter and ransacked the teller’s cages, they stuffed the money into two pillowcases, police said.

The men then ran eastward along the alley on the north side of the bank, dropped the rifle and were lost from sight.

No injuries or arrests have been reported.

A freshman at North Harford High School made the Hawks varsity lacrosse team Monday in Pylesville, Md.
“I was just really excited,” said Brittany T. Boden, 15, Pylesville. “I didn’t expect to be put on varsity as a freshman, and just I’m really looking forward to this season so we’ll just have to see what happens.”
Boden has played offense as either an attackman or midfielder for seven years. She also currently plays for the elite club team North East Maryland Select (NEMS) in the summer, and travels to tournaments in the surrounding Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania area.
“At the NEMS tournaments there is a lot of tough competition and playing those teams really makes you step up your game and that has definitely made me a better player, Boden said.”
Kids who are involved in sports at a young age and are faced with tough competition on a regular basis have the potential to become very talented athletes.
