    New Haven (WTNH) - Police are looking for an armed suspect from a New Haven bank robbery that happened Saturday morning.

    A bank security officer at Webster Bank on 894 Whalley Ave. saw the suspect pacing back and forth in front of the bank around 11:15 a.m. When she approached him, he stuck a gun into the officer's side and walked her over to a teller working in the bank.

    Police say the man held the gun in the security officer's side, while he told the teller to fill a bag with cash. A dye pack then exploded in the bag, the suspect dropped it and took off.

    He then got into the passenger side of a small grey Mazda and fled West bound on Fountain Street. No one saw the driver of the vehicle.

    No one was injured.

    Police have released a quick description of the suspect, saying he is a heavy-set black male.

    Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call New Haven Police at (203) 946-6304.
