As of 4pm, the Sheriff's department, Geddes Police, and the FBI were still looking for the suspect that robbed a Bank of America at approximately 11:30 in the morning in Geddes.
Police describe the suspect as a black male, between 5'8" and 5'10". The suspect has short cropped hair and was wearing a plaid red and white shirt. The suspect fled on foot, police responded with a canine unit and helicopters.
No one was hurt or injured in the robbery at 4732 Onondaga Boulevard. The bank employees and the store's only customer at that time were questioned by police, and then released for the rest of the day. The bank did not reopen for the day.
Employees at neighboring stores say crime is not a usually a major problem for them. Steve Frederick, who works at the Pizza Hut next door, was surprised by the incident.
"I was flabbergasted," Frederick said, "I know everybody in that bank. I have a good rapport with them. When they got robbed, I called them up and asked if they needed some lunch today. They got it on me."
