Authorities say the robbery occurred at Chase Bank, located at 6910 FM 1960, around 9:00 a.m. on September 18. Police say the suspect verbally threatened a bank teller and demanded money upon entering the bank.
In response, the teller handed over an unspecified amount of cash, which the robber placed in a blue "playbook" folder he was holding. The suspect left the bank on foot, heading westbound after the robbery. No one was physically harmed during the ordeal.
