Police are still searching for a man who held up the Wells Fargo Bank in Garden City Monday morning.
The robbery happened shortly after 9 a.m. in the 3300 block of West Chinden Blvd., only a few minutes after the bank opened.
According to police, a man entered the bank and demanded money from a teller.
“He claimed to have explosives, but no explosives were ever seen,” said Garden City Police Sgt. Jerry Walbey.
Witnesses described the man as being in his twenties, about 5-feet-7-inches tall, wearing a black jacket with green lettering. It is unclear what the lettering said. The suspect also wore a white hoodie under his jacket and over his head.
He left the bank with an undisclosed amount of money, “then was last seen heading on foot in a southwesterly direction from the bank,” Walbey said.
Officers searched the area -– including a number of adjacent businesses, but did not find any trace of the suspect.
