TAMPA, Fla. — Police are searching the Hyde Park neighborhood Friday for a man accused of robbing a Fifth Third Bank.

The robbery happened just before 10 a.m. at the bank located at 1901 W. Swann Ave., according to the Tampa Police Department.

Authorities say a masked man wearing gloves demanded cash from a teller and got away. A note implied the man had a weapon, and he said, "Quickly fill it up, quick, quick, quick," the department noted in a news release.

He also said "sorry" before running off with an undisclosed amount of cash, police added.

No one was hurt.

It's believed the man is 30-40 years old. He was seen wearing a blue/gray hoodie, tan pants and red shoes.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS or the department's non-emergency number at 813-231-6130.
