Clark County sheriff’s deputies were called to a robbery at an Umpqua Bank branch in Hazel Dell on Friday afternoon. No one was injured, and the suspect got away.
At about 2:10 p.m., a man — who looked to be in his 40s — entered the bank at 8015 N.E. Highway 99 and presented a note to a teller demanding money. The note indicated that the robber had a firearm, but he didn’t display one, according to a sheriff’s office news release.
The teller complied and handed over cash, the sheriff’s office said. The person who reported the crime said the man took no more than $2,000, according to scanner traffic monitored at The Columbian.
He then fled to a gold-colored vehicle, possibly a Toyota Corolla, parked nearby and left the area. The vehicle year and license plate are unknown, the sheriff’s office said.
