Man with bushy-brown fake beard robs Anchorage bank

ANCHORAGE — The FBI is looking for a man who wore a fake beard to rob a bank Tuesday in Anchorage.

A spokeswoman in a release says the man just before 2 p.m. walked into the First National Bank on Gambell Street east of Sullivan Arena.

He handed a note to a teller that demanded cash.

He walked out with cash and fled on a bicycle.

Images taken inside the bank show the man with a bushy, fake, brown beard that covered his mouth and descended to his chest.

He also wore a dark, hooded sweat shirt, faded blue jeans and white tennis shoes.

Underneath the sweat shirt hood, he wore a red or orange baseball cap.

The FBI says the man was about 5-foot-7 and about 170 pounds.
