He was reportedly approached by a bank employee and walked off, returning shortly thereafter. He again stood in the teller line and was again approached by a bank employee, and again left the area, this time, say investigators, actually leaving the grocery store.
Moments later, investigators say he re-entered the banking area and approached a teller, handing over a note which claimed that he would shoot the teller if she didn't give him cash. He reportedly never showed a weapon and no one was physically hurt.
He was seen leaving the area on foot.
Witnesses describe the 'Rasta Robber' as a black male who appeared to be around 25 years old, standing 5'08"-5'10" tall with a slim to medium build. Witnesses say he was clean shaven. He sported a dreadlock wig, make-up on his face, and dark red lipstick on his mouth. He was wearing a purple shirt and dark slacks.
