Updated 5:30 p.m. to include additional details and suspect description from FBI.

A Chase Bank in the 1100 block of Palm Avenue was robbed Tuesday, said Lt. Scott Amos with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.

An unknown man entered the bank around noon and slipped a teller a demand note, said FBI Special Agent and Spokesman Darrell Foxworth. The man, who appeared to be in his 20s, told the teller he had a weapon, but no gun or other weapon was observed, Foxworth said.

After being handed an undisclosed amount of money, the man fled on foot. No injuries were reported.

Witnesses desribed the robber as a 6'0" Hispanic man weighing roughly 170-180 lbs with short or shaved hair. At the time of the robbery he was wearing a white T-shirt, black sunglasses with dark brown lenses, white tennis shoes and a black baseball cap.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call the San Diego County Sheriff's Department at 858-565-5200.
