PALM HARBOR, Fla. - PALM HARBOR, Fla. - The Pinellas Sheriff's Office is looking for a man who held up a Palm Harbor-area bank office Tuesday afternoon.
According to sheriff's detectives, the suspect, believed to be a Hispanic male in his mid-20s, entered the Bank of America office at 33451 U.S. 19, Palm Harbor, about 1:15 p.m. Tuesday. He waited in line for a short time and then approached a teller, from whom he demanded cash in Spanish.
The man implied he had a weapon but did not produce one.
The teller complied with the demand, and the suspect fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.
No one was injured during the holdup, detectives said.
Witnesses described the suspect as approximately 5 feet 6 inches in height and weighing about 160 pounds.
He was last seen wearing a dark baseball cap with an unknown logo on it and a dark three-quarter-length jacket, possibly blue in color. The jacket had a reflective stripe around the body and sleeves.
The clean-shaven suspect was wearing a sweatshirt or T-shirt underneath the jacket with what appeared to be the letters "Un" on it, baggy faded jeans and white sneakers.
The sheriff's office is asking anyone with information concerning the robbery to contact Detective Jim Cavagnaro of the Robbery Unit at (727) 582-6200.
