Just after 12 p.m. Saturday afternoon, a hold-up alarm notified police of the situation. Minutes later, a bank employee called 911 to confirm that a man had just attempted to rob the bank.
Initial reports indicated police were looking for a light-skinned black or Hispanic man with a stubbly beard, approximately 6-feet tall with a medium build, wearing a black baseball cap, a black and a gray long-sleeve shirt with faded jeans and work boots.
Apparently the man walked up to counter, set down a note demanding all the money and left the bank with note in hand. It is unclear if the man actually got anything.
He was last seen on foot traveling toward Wilbraham and that town's police are aware of the situation and also keeping an eye out for the suspect.
This is a developing story and additional information will be published as it becomes available.
