Police are searching for a bank robber who told tellers in Oakland not to "freak out" before demanding all their money this morning.
Tellers told police the man entered the First Niagara branch in the 3700 block of Fifth Avenue about 11:40 a.m. and said, "Don't freak out, give me all of your money," police said.
The man fled with an undisclosed amount of cash toward Euler Way. Police found a dye pack and a mask, but not the man, whom witnesses described as in his 50s with salt-and-pepper "pattern baldness."
Standing about 5-foot-9, the robber wore blue jeans and a tan jacket. Witnesses also told police he had a thin mustache.
Police ask anyone with information to call the city's robbery squad at 412-323-7151.
