The Gallup Police Department and the FBI are still looking for a man who robbed Washington Federal bank on 221 W. Aztec Ave. April 16.

Gallup Police Department Cap. Marinda Spencer said the man entered the lobby of Washington Federal Bank just after it opened at 9 am and pulled out a gun, demanding money. The man then received an unspecified sum of money and left the bank, heading eastbound on Aztec Avenue.

No one was injured and the entire incident took only a few minutes, said Spencer.

Once he left the bank, he got on a bicycle and headed east, Spencer said.

Gallup Police converged on the area shortly after. Bank officials punched their panic alarm at 9:27 am and began searching for the man but were unable to find him, said Spencer.

Spencer said the suspect is a light complected male with dark hair that was pulled back in a ponytail. He was wearing a grey sweatshirt, jeans, and black and white shoes.

If you have any information, or may have sighted the suspect, call Metro Dispatch at (505) 722-2002.
