The bandit had a medium complexion and was about 5-feet-10-inches tall, with a thin build, the bureau reported shortly after the holdup.

He was wearing a brown baseball cap, a black neck gaiter and a grey hooded coat, along with black gloves that had a red patch on the index finger, a blue surgical mask and black shoes that had a "white or reflective patch on the toe," an alert said.

"After leaving the bank, he was observed riding a black mountain bike with chrome handlebars and silver wheels," it said.
