A man with a beard that appeared to be fake robbed a Morris County bank on Thursday before fleeing on foot, authorities said.

The robbery occurred about 10:45 a.m. at the Wells Fargo bank in the 500 block of Route 23 in Pequannock. The man entered the bank branch and demanded money, according to police and the prosecutor’s office.

“The investigation has revealed that the suspect appears to be an older white male with a black beard, which is possibly fake,” said Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp.

The man wore dark pants, a dark, hooded Adidas sweatshirt with white stripes on the arms, a dark ball cap and glasses, investigators said.

Anyone who recognizes the man or has information about the robbery is asked to call the prosecutor’s office at 973-285-6200 or police at 973-835-1700.
