Police say the west side branch of Monroe Bank was robbed Monday afternoon.
At about 4 p.m. a male entered the bank, located at 4191 W. Third St., and presented a note to the bank teller demanding an undisclosed amount of money, said Bloomington Police Department Capt. Joe Qualters, reading from a police report.
The suspect did not display any weapons while inside the bank, he said.
The bank teller provided the undisclosed amount of money to the suspect, according to the report. Witnesses at the scene said they saw the suspect leaving on foot walking east.
A witness on the scene told officers the suspect’s vehicle was a copper-colored station wagon.
Monroe County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Nathan Peach was able to locate a vehicle that matched the witnesses’ descriptions in a trailer park in the South Curry Pike area. BPD is not certain there is any correlation between the location of the vehicle and the location of the suspect.
BPD officers said they saw “articles of interest” in the vehicle. According to the report, BPD attained a search warrant and found items that appeared on the bank’s surveillance tape in the vehicle.
BPD is still looking for the suspect. Anyone with information can contact BPD at 339-4477.
