After viewing surveillance video at the bank, police now say they believe the suspect was wearing a brown ski or hunting type mask and a grey, long-sleeve shirt under a pair of bulky brown overalls.
A gunman wearing a ski mask walked into the front door of Fredonia Valley Bank in Fredonia at 11:51 a.m., today and demanded cash after brandishing a handgun. A teller gave the man an undisclosed amount of money and he exited the bank. Authorities believe the robber may have gotten into a white S-10 pickup, which drove off north on U.S. 641.
A witness was able to get a license plate number, but authorities are not certain the information will lead to a suspect.
The robber was wearing a pair of brown overalls and a blue denim shirt. He was also wearing gloves.
No one at the bank was harmed. Police say it will likely be tomorrow before the bank reopens. They were still inside completing their investigation well after 1 p.m.
Kentucky State Police is leading the investigation with assistance from the Caldwell County Sheriff's Department.
Anyone with information on the robbery is encouraged to call the sheriff's department at (270) 365-2088 or state police at 1-800-222-5555.
