A man robbed a bank not far from Quinnipiac University in Hamden on Tuesday morning, which led to the university sending out an alert to students.
"Please be advised the Peoples Bank, 3496 Whitney Ave., Hamden, was robbed at 10:15 a.m.Tuesday by a male suspect last seen heading north toward Cheshire," Quinnipiac said in an alert sent to the Quinnipiac community.
The bank is less than half a mile away from campus.
Police said a man wearing black clothing and gloves approached an employee in the reception area, demanded money, reached into a cash drawer, pulled some out and put it in a multi-colored backpack, then walked into the parking lot toward another business.
Police searched the area, but did not find the robber.
Now, they are asking anyone with information about the bank robbery to call Detective Mark Consorte of the Hamden Police Department Major Crimes Division at (203) 230-4040.
