Detectives investigating the case were provided descriptions of the suspect by bank employees who were held up about 4 p.m. Monday.

Investigators said a lone man went into the bank at 882 Lisbon St. and handed a teller a note demanding money.

No weapon was displayed during the heist and no one was hurt.

Police did not say how much money was handed to the suspect before he walked from the bank and disappeared. It was not known whether the suspect left the area on foot or in a vehicle.

The bank is next to Martel Elementary School at Lisbon Street and East Avenue.
