The Lawrence police are continuing their investigation into Friday's robbery of the University State Bank, 2546 Iowa St.
The bank was robbed of an undisclosed amount at about 2:45 p.m. by a man carrying what police think was a sawed-off shotgun.
L. I. Lyle Sutton, chief of detectives for the Lawrence Police Department, said there were two cases. The FBI and the Kamas Bureau of Investigation have been called in to assist with investigation
Four customers and five employees were in the bank when a man wearing a bulky hunting jacket entered the bank and jumped on the car. The man led to the teller stations, a witness said.
After stuffing the money from the first teller's drawer in an inside pocket, the man moved to the next teller, put the gun to
he head and demanded she open the cash drawer, the witness said.
HE THEN TOOK the money from the cash drawer and the drive-up window drawer and left the bank, dropping a stack of $20 bills on his wav out.
The witness said the man left the scene on foot, heading through an apartment complex east of the bank.
"He started to jog but never ran like he was trying to get away." "the witness said"
Police described the robber as a white male with a dark complexion and freckles. He was about 5-foot-10 and about 25 years old, they said, with brown or black curly hair that might have been a wig. He was also wearing a brown hunting jacket and a hunting cap.
Sutton said a bank employee activated an alarm and the camera in the bank when the robbery began. The police received the camera, and he arrived a few minutes later, he said.
THE POLICE FINISHED their on-scene investigation Friday, Sutton said. He said the bank was searched for fingerprints and other identifying information in an area east of the bank where the robber filed.
Although Sutton said detectives found some evidence, he declined to comment on what was found.
Sutton said the police were now interviewing witnesses and persons who may have seen the man in the area. Investigators need to be informed to contact the Lawrence police.
The pictures taken by the automatic camera in the lobby of the bank have been reviewed and are not yet not been reviewed. He said he could not comment on whether they would aid the bank.
The Kansas Banking Association has offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of the stolen money, Sutton said.
