West Frankfort police are continuing to investigate a Wednesday afternoon armed robbery at Banterra Bank, in West Frankfort.
Employees said that a medium-built, white male entered the bank shortly before 4 p.m. and talked to a teller about opening an account. As she was explaining the details the man interrupted her and demanded money, threatening to detonate a devise and blow up the bank.
West Frankfort Police Chief Shawn Talluto said that the robber implied that he had a weapon. The man, who was wearing a sock hat, dark glasses and a black jacket, white turtleneck and blue jeans, was estimated to be 6-feet tall and in his 30s or 40s. He exited the building through the north exit and fled on foot with an undetermined amount of money.
