New London police are searching for a suspect accused of robbing the Chelsea Groton Savings Bank Thursday afternoon.
The suspect entered the bank on Montauk Avenue around 3:45 p.m. Police said he handed the teller a note claiming he had a weapon, though one was not actually shown, and left with around $650. No injuries were reported.
The suspect is described as male with a stocky build and “salt and pepper” facial hair. He was wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt and pants.
