A man stole money from First Niagara Bank in West Hartford after threatening to shoot the teller in the town's second bank robbery of the day Thursday, Aug. 6.
The man came into the 55 South Main St. bank at about 4:46 p.m. and handed a bank teller a note demanding money, employees told police. He didn't display a gun, but threatened to shoot the teller, police said. After he was given an undetermined amount of cash, he left.
It's unknown whether he left the area on foot or in a vehicle.
West Hartford police and a Bloomfield police K9 unit searched the area, but couldn't find the bank robber.
No one was injured.
Police said the man was last seen wearing a black polo shirt, khakis and two-tone grey baseball hat that had writing on it. He was described as being about 50 years old, overweight and about 5-foot-7. The robber had black hair and was carrying a portfolio case.
It's unknown whether the robbery was connected to another one at TD Bank on South Main Street several hours before.
