Prescott bank robbed Friday

A Prescott bank was robbed Friday afternoon by a man dressed in camouflage, the Prescott Police Department reported.

Just before 1 p.m., the man entered M&I Bank at 1049 Campbell St. He didn’t show a weapon, but demanded money from two tellers and an employee. He took an undisclosed amount of cash and was seen leaving the bank on bicycle.

The man is described as about 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighs about 140 pounds and is in his early 20s. He was wearing a brown and green hooded camouflage jacket, pants and a mask. He was also wearing sunglasses.

“We are confident that the suspect is no longer in the area and there is no cause for alarm,” Chief Mike Bondarenko said.

The case is being investigated by the Prescott Police Department and the FBI. Prescott police officers were assisted at the scene by Pierce County sheriff’s deputies.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to contact the Prescott Police Department at 715-262-5512.
