PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, Va. – Pittsylvania County authorities are searching for a person who they say robbed a bank on Monday.

The robber ran away with an undisclosed amount of money, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Witnesses described the robber as a white man, about 5 feet, 7 inches tall, wearing camouflage pants, a blue hoodie, blue latex gloves and a red bandanna over his mouth.

The robber did not display a weapon during the robbery, according to the Sheriff's Office.
