Officers from the 104th Precinct are looking for a suspect they say held up a Cross County Savings Bank in Middle Village on Wednesday.

Police say the unidentified suspect entered the bank located at 80-10 Eliot Avenue just before 4 p.m. on March 6 and demanded money from the bank teller. The teller handed over the cash and the suspect fled the bank eastbound on Eliot Avenue with an undetermined amount of money.

The suspect’s image was captured on surveillance video. He is described as being white, in his forties, 5'5", with a heavy build and a light complexion. He was last seen wearing large sunglasses, a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants.
