The Hammond Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man suspected of robbing a bank Saturday afternoon.
The man walked into the Chase Bank on 169th Street pretending to be a customer, police spokesman Lt. Steve Kellogg said in a release late Saturday.
The man handed the teller a note demanding money, saying he had a gun, Kellogg said. He then fled in a vehicle with an undisclosed amount of money.
The man, who was caught on camera, was described as thinly built with ear-length braids and a thin goatee, according to the release. Additionally, he was wearing a gray jacket and light gray baseball cap.
Anyone who can identify the suspect is urged to call Hammond Police Det. John Suarez at (219)852-2981.
