Monroe County bank robbed

A man robbed the Monroe Bank and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash Wednesday at noon.\nA white male handed a teller a threatening note after announcing the robbery, but never displayed a weapon, said Bloomington Police Department Captain Joe Qualters, reading from the police report. No one was injured.\nWitnesses described the suspect as a white male in his mid- to late-20s wearing a light-colored jacket with a stocking cap. A scarf and sunglasses covered his face. They said he was about 5-feet-7 inches or 5-feet-8 inches tall and of thin build.\nQualters said another individual drove the suspect away in a gray mid-80s Buick or Oldsmobile.\nThe case is currently under investigation, but Qualters said BPD found no reason to believe the robbery was connected to any of the bank robberies that occurred in Bloomington this summer.\nAnyone with information should contact Detective Rick Crussen at 349-3374.
