MAN ROBS CARY BANK

CARY, NC – The Town of Cary Police Department is asking for your help in apprehending the man who robbed the First Citizens Bank at 1825 Kildaire Farms Road in Cary this afternoon.  Just before 2:30 p.m. today, a white male entered the bank and passed a note to a teller demanding money.  The teller complied with an undisclosed amount of cash and no one was harmed.  The suspect, who left on foot, is probably in his fifties, about 6’ tall, 220 lbs., with a medium build.  He was wearing a green shirt, dirty blue jeans, and a camouflage-colored baseball cap.
