Cedarburg police said the Port Washington State Bank on Washington Avenue was robbed around 3:15 p.m. that day. Officers were called while the robbery was in progress. They arrived, set a perimeter and searched the area but did not find the suspect.
According to a criminal complaint, a bank employee said the robber walked in and said he wanted money – "no dye packs." The employee said the robber then jumped the teller's counter and "corralled bank staff away from the station in an aggressive manner." He grabbed money out of a teller's drawer, jumped back over the counter and ran off.
