GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Chase Bank was robbed Wednesday afternoon by a man in a nylon mask and black trench coat.

The suspect entered the bank, 4528 Breton Ave. SE, at around 4:40 p.m. and demanded money from a teller, Grand Rapids police say.

He got it, then fled with an undetermined amount of cash. The suspect appeared to have a weapon, police said, but no one was injured.

The man, who is black and has a gray goatee, then fled in a black four-door SUV, according to a news release.

He is described as about 6-feet to 6-5 with a slim to medium build. The man reportedly was wearing a full-length leather coat over a white and black plaid shirt and a light-colored hooded shirt.

The bank also was robbed Oct. 10.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at (616) 456-3604 or Silent Observer at (616) 777-2345. The FBI is investigating.
