The robber fled the TD Bank on South Paramus Road at the Garden State Parkway exit on the Rochelle Park border just after 6:30 p.m. wearing a checkered hoodie under a black Carhartt-style jacket and over what looks like a billed cap and sunglasses, Ehrenberg said.

He was about 5-foot-4, with a chin-strap-style beard and “physically implied that he was armed with a weapon,” the chief said.

FBI agents responded, while Rochelle Park and Fair Lawn police helped their Paramus colleagues establish a perimeter.

A Bergen County Sheriff’s K-9 unit responded, with negative results.
