"The suspect apparently didn't realize the bank had already closed when he demanded money from the tellers. He left empty-handed and a record of what he looked like, on video. He did not show a weapon," the FBI said in a statement.

The incident occurred at the Academy Bank in the Walmart located at 9400 East Hampden Avenue just after 5 p.m.
