PAWTUCKET -- The police are looking for help in finding a man who robbed a Sovereign Bank this morning.

At 11:01 a.m., the man, described as 50 to 60 years old, with short blond or gray hair and wearing prescription eyeglasses, handed a teller a note in the bank at 215 Main St. The note "contained the threat of a weapon and demanded cash," a Pawtucket police news release says.

The suspect fled on foot. The police did not say how much cash he left with.

The police ask that anyone with information call (401) 727-9100, ext. 737.
