Chattanooga police continue to search for a bank robber who held up the SunTrust on Northpoint Boulevard about 11:30 a.m. today.
The bandit brandished a handgun and held up the bank with about five customers inside, police said. He demanded to see a manager and, when one was not available, he grabbed a teller at gunpoint, demanding money.
The man took an undisclosed amount of cash and fled on a bicycle, police said.
The suspect, who was wearing a black ski mask and gloves, is believed to be 6 feet 3 and weighs about 250 pounds.
Anyone with any information can contact police at 423-698-2525.
