MILLCREEK — Investigators are asking for help to locate the man who robbed a Chase Bank Monday morning.

Police are also investigating the possibility that the same man may have robbed another bank in Salt Lake County 45 minutes earlier.

A man presented a teller with a note demanding money at the Chase Bank at 1306 E. Woodland Avenue at 10:14 a.m., according to the Unified Police Department. The teller complied and the man left the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

He left the bank on foot and was last seen heading east on Woodland Avenue, according to investigators. Police were unable to locate him in the area and said it is unknown whether he got into a vehicle.

Investigators described the man as a 5-foot-8 Caucasian between 30 and 40 years old who is around 200 pounds. At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a black stocking hat, gray T-shirt with black stripes, light-colored blue jeans and light-colored shoes.
