GROTON, CT — Police are searching for an armed bank robbery suspect.

At 3:11 p.m. Wednesday, a white man wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt, dark pants, and tan colored boots (believed to be Herman Survivor brand) entered the M&T Bank, 654 Long Hill Road, Groton, police said.

He wore a dark mask covering his face and used a dark cloth material to cover his right hand. A wedding style band was seen on the suspect’s left ring finger, police said.

The man was given cash from two separate tellers before exiting the bank. The suspect was last seen fleeing on foot, police said.
