TOMBALL, Texas—Tomball police were on the hunt for a bank robbery suspect after a holdup at a BBVA Compass Bank Tuesday afternoon.

It happened around 1:20 p.m. at a bank in the 1100 block of West Main Street.

According to police, the suspect walked into the bank, approached a teller window and handed over a note demanding cash.

Bank employees complied, giving him an undisclosed amount of money, and the suspect left the bank on foot.

Tomball police are working with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI Bank Robbery Task Force to identify and arrest the suspect.

Police said a similar robbery was reported in Montgomery County about an hour prior to the Compass Bank heist.

Investigators said the suspect is between 40 and 50 years old and stands about 5 feet, 6 inches tall. He was wearing what appeared to be prescription glasses at the time of the holdup.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call Investigator Albert Chambers at 281-290-1390 or submit their tip online through the "silent hotline" at tomballpd.com.
