According to the Pawtucket Police, a lone black male entered the Citizens bank at 539 Smithfield Ave. at 2:05 PM Monday and handed the teller a note. The suspect then told the teller, "Give me the money or I will shoot you."

The suspect then fled the bank with an undetermined amount of cash.

The suspect is a black male, 5'8"-5'10", thin, wearing a fake beard, Toronto Blue Jays hat and a black hooded sweatshirt or jacket with some white on it.

Anyone with information in this case is asked to call Detective Donti Rosciti at 401-727-9100 ext 737or Detective David Silva at 401-727-9100 ext 760.

Come on now, Pablo P., there's no excuse for people of ANY color to rob...robbing a bank is a LOT easier than the job I have to do in the morning, but I still have a little pride. Good luck, though.

5'8-5'10? Those must be some tall counters. I thought he was like 5'3.

I can't help thinking that if the Fed had subsidised businesses in the US to stay instead of making political deals which influenced them to go to China, people here might not be so desperate. Shame on the government, not so much the bank robbers,
