Deputies are investigating a robbery at a TD Bank in suburban West Palm Beach Wednesday morning, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

Ebony Elliott, who works nearby, said the news was unsettling. "Yeah, definitely does concern me because I'm a server here at Applebee's; you know I want to make sure that I'm safe coming to work. I want to make sure that when I leave work with the money that I am caring I don't get robbed."

Anyone with information is urged to call Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at 800.458.TIPS.
