Two suspected bank robbers were arrested outside St. Joseph Medical Center after leading police on a car chase.
The robbery was reported early Wednesday afternoon at the Central Bank of the Midwest, 4801 Town Center Drive in Leawood, according to the FBI.
No one was injured.
Shortly after the robbery, Leawood police officers spotted a vehicle matching the description of a getaway car near 119th and Glenwood streets.
Officers chased the vehicle until its occupants bailed out of it near the medical center at Interstate 435 and State Line Road.
One person was quickly arrested. The other was found hiding several minutes later in a parking garage outside the hospital. That person was receiving medical treatment after being bitten by a police dog.
