Police Searching for Bank Robbery Suspect

Cranston Police are looking for a man who committed an armed robbery at Santander Bank on Reservoir Avenue on Wednesday.

Police said the man, described as skinny, wearing baggy jeans, sneakers, a blue-green T-shirt and Boston Celtics cap, walked into the bank just after noon and handed a teller a note that said "I have a gun, I will shoot you if you give a dye pack."

The suspect then fled on foot with an undetermined amount of cash. It is unclear if a vehicle was involved.

If you have any information, call Cranston Po.ice at 401-942-2211. Det. Donald Bucci is leading the investigation.
