"At approximately 1:30 p.m. we received a silent hold up alarm at the PNC Bank behind me," Chief Leo Niemczyk told WPTV's Tyler Hatfield. "Officers responded, got on scene and what they learned was that a dark-skinned female approached the teller, put her purse on the counter and passed a note requesting money and informing the teller that she had a weapon."
Police said the teller believed she saw the bank robber armed with a handgun so she complied.
The bank robber is described as a black woman who was last seen walking away from the bank on foot, police said.
Police said surrounding video surveillance captured the woman leaving the bank and getting into a black Mercedes GL450 that was parked on a side street behind the bank.
Anyone who may have information on the incident is urged to contact Master Detective R. Giaccone at (772) 807-4401 or Treasure Coast Crimestoppers at (800) 273-8477.
