The suspect was last seen walking between two high rise buildings directly south of the bank, which is located 211 N. Robinson Avenue.

No one was injured during the incident. A reward of up to $2000 is being offered by the Oklahoma Bankers Association for any information leading to the arrest of the suspect.
