People's United robbed in Burlington

Burlington police are looking for a male suspect wanted for robbing People's United Bank on North Avenue on Wednesday afternoon.

Police describe the man as being in his late 20s to early 30s, about 6 feet tall and 200 pounds and wearing a hoodie, hat, sunglasses, dark jacket and light-colored pants, said Deputy Chief Bruce Bovat. The robbery happened shortly before 3 p.m.

No weapon was displayed during the incident, and no one was harmed, Bovat said. The man took an undisclosed amount of money.

Preliminary investigation shows that the man handed a note to the bank teller demanding money, Bovat said. The man left the bank on foot, and entered an early-2000s aged green sedan with a loud exhaust. The car then drove south on North Avenue, Bovat said.

Police urge those with information about the robbery to contact the Burlington Police Department at 658-2700.
