WARREN (WWJ) -- Detectives with the Warren Police Department are still searching for a woman wanted for the armed robbery of a bank on Thursday.

Police on Friday released a security camera image of the suspect, described by investigators as a Black female, approximately 5’2” to 5’4” tall, in her mid-30s.

She was last seen wearing dark-colored pants, a black t-shirt and glasses and was armed with a handgun.

According to Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer, the robbery took place at around 11 a.m. Thursday, at the Fifth Third bank in the 30700 block of Van Dyke Ave. near 13 Mile Road.

The suspect walked up to a bank employee, produced a handgun and demanded money, Dwyer said.

Teller complied and the robber fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of money, walking eastbound toward Washington Blvd. and N. Kennedy Circle.

No one in the bank was injured.
