ORONO, Maine (AP)   Officials say a man who said he had a gun robbed a Maine bank.

Orono police say an unidentified man entered the Bangor Savings Bank Tuesday afternoon and gave a note to the teller, threatening him for cash. WCSH-TV reports the note also said the robber had a gun.

The teller complied and the robber fled on foot with the cash. Police say no weapon was shown and no one was injured.

The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 6 feet tall, with a thin build. He was wearing dark pants, a gray hooded sweatshirt, and sneakers. He was disguised with a black mask and dark sunglasses.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Penobscot Regional Communications Center. The FBI is assisting in the investigation.
