Man wearing skeleton mask holds up bank in Kroger

Cincinnati Police are searching for a suspect who robbed the Fifth Third Bank inside the Westwood Kroger store.

The incident occurred around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at the branch location at 2310 Ferguson Road.

Police say a man wearing a grey skeleton mask carrying an open umbrella brandished a semi-automatic handgun at the teller and demanded cash.

After receiving an undetermined amount of cash, the suspect placed the money in a black nylon bag with white letters and fled the bank.
