The Guam Police Department said a man in his 50s robbed the FHB branch at the Compadres Mall along Harmon Loop Road around 1 p.m. Friday.
GPD spokesperson Sgt. Mike Aguon said the suspect was in line with other customers. The suspect waited until it was his turn to be seen by a teller before handing over a note and a clear bag telling the teller it was a robbery.
Sgt. Aguon said the suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of money.
There was no word yet if he was armed.
The suspect is described as a man, possibly in his 50s, with tattoos all over his body. He was last seen wearing a black shirt, dark blue jeans, and had black and gray hair.
Officers with patrol and GPD’s Special Operations Division are actively searching for the suspect who remains at large.
The community is advised not to approach the suspect as he may be armed and is considered to be dangerous.
Anyone with information is asked to contact GPD or Guam Crime Stoppers at (671) 477-HELP.
The First Hawaiian Bank’s Dededo branch was closed Friday afternoon. Police said a robber took an undisclosed amount from one of the teller counters.
