A man is facing federal charges following a reported armed bank robbery on Monday afternoon near Biltmore Fashion Park.
Around 12:30 p.m., police were called to a robbery at Chase Bank near 27th Street and Camelback Road in Phoenix.
According to FBI officials, a man entered the bank and fired one shot into the ceiling with an AK-47 weapon.
The robber reportedly fled the scene in a box truck with an undisclosed sum of money.
