Tacoma police are looking for a man suspected of robbing a bank about 11:30 a.m. today in the vicinity of South 47th Street and Pine Avenue, according to police radio traffic.
Police said the suspect implied that he had a weapon. The name of the bank wasn’t given.
The man they are looking for is described as a white male i his 20s, approximately 6 feet tall with a gray baseball cap and blue hooded sweatshirt. He fled on foot.
More information to follow.

UPDATE 12:30 p.m.: The search for the suspected bank robber has been called off, according to a Tacoma police spokesman. A K-9 unit was brought in but the man eluded police, he said.
Police asked that the Head Start School at the old Madison school, 3102 So. 43rd St, be locked down when the robber fled in that direction. The lock down didn’t last long and children were dismissed early as planned at 12:15 p.m.
The robbery occurred at Community First Credit Union at South 47th Street and South Pine Street.
