Cops hope 'forecast' includes arrest of robber

WEST SPRINGFIELD, Pa. (AP) - January 5, 2012

State police say a Weather Channel crew was in the area shooting video on heavy snows Tuesday morning when the Community National Bank of Northwestern Pennsylvania was robbed in Springfield Township.

Police tell the Erie Times-News the robber stole a bank employee's vehicle to drive away, and say they found the vehicle abandoned near the area where the Weather Channel crew was shooting video, near Route 6N and Interstate 90.

Police say they don't know yet whether the video includes any images of the robber or the abandoned vehicle.

The bank is about 15 miles southwest of Erie, near the Ohio border.
