The Federal Bureau of Investigation and White Oak police are looking for a suspect in connection with the robbery Saturday of the PNC Bank on Lincoln Way.

FBI spokeswoman Catherine Policicchio said a man entered the branch at 2:45 p.m., just before it was scheduled to close for the day, and demanded money. The suspect did not show a weapon and left the bank on foot, Policicchio said.

No one was injured, she said.

The FBI has not disclosed how much money, if any, was taken in the theft and did not say if any customers were in the bank at the time. A PNC Bank spokeswoman declined comment.

The suspect was described as a man 5-feet-7 or 5-feet-8 tall who was wearing a black hat with a red label on the front and dark-colored clothing.

Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI's Pittsburgh field office at (412) 432-4000. Callers may remain anonymous.
