A man wearing a wig and carrying a leopard print purse robbed a bank Tuesday on Tucson's southeast side, police said.
Shortly before 2 p.m., a man entered Safeway at 6360 E. Golf Links Road and walked into the U.S. Bank branch. The man inquired about opening an account, police said.
When he was asked for identification, the man pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the teller and demanded money, said police. He was given an undisclosed amount of cash and then he then ran from the store.
The man, who was captured on a surveillance camera, is described as an African American who is between 25 to 30 years old. He was about 6 feet tall and has a thin build.
He was last seen wearing a gray long-sleeved shirt with "New York 76" on the front, blue jeans and sunglasses.
Investigators ask that anyone with information call 88-CRIME, an anonymous tipster hotline.
