A local shopping strip mall was evacuated Tuesday night after a woman robbed a bank with a box of chocolate.

A woman carrying flowers and a box of candy walked up to a teller at the Capitol Federal Bank in the SuperTarget store at West 119th Street and Blackbob Road, police said.

She told the teller the box contained an explosive and demanded money.

The woman got away with an undisclosed amount of money.

After X-raying the package, the bomb squad determined the box was filled with candy and harmless wires.

The store was back open on Wednesday.

"It makes you more aware of what's going on around you," said shopper Terry Beach, of Tonganoxie, Kan.
