Eastside bank robbed Thursday

The Bloomington Police Department is searching for a man who robbed a bank on Bloomington’s east side Thursday morning.

Officers were dispatched at 11:31 a.m. to The Peoples State Bank at 525 S. Clarizz Boulevard in response to a call that the bank had been robbed, Sgt. Jeff Canada said.

No customers were in the bank at the time, and two tellers were working along with other bank employees, Canada said.

A man walked up to a teller and told her to put money in his “Dollar Tree” bag. Canada said he did not display a weapon.

Once the bag was full, the man ran out of the bank’s north entrance and kept running north toward a nearby apartment complex.

Canada said the man was described as black with light skin, wearing a black hoodie and black sweatpants.
