Hickory police are looking for a bank robber who fled on foot Wednesday after demanding money at a BB&T branch.

Shortly after 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, a white man with dark eyebrows, mustache and goatee walked into the BB&T bank on Springs Road in Hickory and handed a teller a note saying he had a gun, Hickory police said. He did not show the teller the gun, authorities said, but demanded money.

The man, dressed in a black, hooded rain jacket and jeans, was carrying a green, military-style bag, police said. He left the bank on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Hickory Police Department at 828-324-2060.
