According to police, a white man in his early 40s placed a white bag on the counter, passed a note demanding money to the teller, walked out with an unknown amount of money and took off in a silver-colored SUV.

No injuries were reported.

Detectives described the man as being about 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, having a slight tan, unshaven, and wearing an off-white hat with a blue front and a blue shirt reading, "Greetings from Asbury Park," which is the title of Bruce Springsteen's debut album.
