It is the bureau's policy to not comment on cases that are under active investigation, said the FBI’s spokesperson, Steven Warfield. Likewise, the SLMPD issued a press release on Sunday afternoon about the incident but did not return subsequent telephone calls seeking comment.
According to the release, South Lake Minnetonka Police Officers responded to the reported robbery at 10:33 a.m. on Sunday at MidCountry Bank inside Cub Foods, at the intersection of Highway 7 and Highway 41 near the Chanhassen border.
Witnesses reported that the robber had a handgun and fled the store on foot, according to the release. A multi-agency search ensued, including a canine unit with the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and aerial support from the Minnesota State Patrol helicopter.
The search failed to locate the suspect, identified in the press release as a black male in his 20s with a slender build and medium height.
Images of the suspect from the grocery store surveillance camera show the man wearing a blue/red baseball cap displaying what appears to be the Cleveland Indians logo on his head and dark colored clothing on the rest of his body. The clothing appears to consist of an untucked short-sleeve shirt, jeans and athletic shoes.
No bank employees, store employees and/or bystanders were injured during the incident, according to the SLMPD.
