Cops are asking residents for help finding a man accused of robbing a bank in the Castle Hill neighborhood of the Bronx last week.

At about 10:40 a.m. on Saturday, April 21, the man walked into the Chase Bank branch at 748 Castle Hill Ave. and passed the teller a note demanding money, police said. The teller complied, handing over an undetermined amount of cash, and the suspect fled in an unknown direction.

Witnesses told cops the man was apparently in his 30s, 5-feet-9, and about 170 pounds. He was last seen wearing a blue and white Nautica T-shirt, blue jeans and dark sunglasses, and was carrying a black backpack.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.  The public can also submit information through the Crime Stoppers website or by texting 274637 and then entering TIP577.
