The Honolulu Police Department asked for the public's help in Monday in tracking down a man who tried to rob a bank.

It happened on Friday at about 3:50 p.m. at the American Savings Bank at 1600 Kapiolani Blvd.

A man walked up to a teller with a note demanding money, then past a second note for a withdrawal.

"The note says 'This is a robbery.' She takes a little while. What he does is he gets another note, and this time it's a withdrawal slip for a certain amount of money. She asks for him for ID. He gets flustered, and he flees," Sgt. Kim Buffett said.

That is when he took off, heading toward Kapiolani Boulevard.

Robber's Description:
  • Age: 20s
  • Height: 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall
  • Weight: 160 to 180 pounds
  • Hair: brown
  • Clothing: black jacket and shorts
  • Police asked that anyone who has information about the case to call CrimeStoppers at 955-8300.
