Man Robs Cypress Bank Friday, Flees on Foot; No One Hurt
Harris County authorities say a man demanded cash from a teller at the PNC Bank on Cypress Rose Hill Road on Friday afternoon, threatened that he had a weapon, and left on foot. No one was injured, and officials have released a description of the man they are looking for.
A man robbed a bank in the Cypress area on Friday afternoon and fled on foot, Harris County authorities said. Precinct 4 constable deputies were called at around 2 p.m. Friday to the PNC Bank on Cypress Rose Hill Road, near Highway 290, according to FOX 26 Houston's reporting of the officials' statements, and a Sheriff's Office detective described what happened inside.
A detective with the Sheriff's Office said the man approached a bank teller and demanded cash, then threatened that he had a weapon. The teller complied and gave him money, and the man left the scene on foot. Officials said the teller complied with the demand to protect herself and her co-workers. No one was hurt.
Authorities described the man they are looking for as heavy-set, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, white, possibly in his late 50s, with a slight goatee. He was wearing a black baseball-style hat, an olive green shirt and blue jeans. His name is unknown at this time.
It is not clear whether the man actually had a weapon, and officials did not say how much money he received. Anyone who recognizes the description is asked to contact Harris County authorities.
