Because of that, authorities aren’t sure if the robber is a man or a woman.
Police say the robber fled the bank to Calvary Baptist Church, where there was a waiting car with a getaway driver.
"No one saw a weapon, didn't say he had a weapon," said Thomas Vulakovich, of the Hampton Township Police Department. "There was some evidence that was recovered. Right now, it will be taken in and analyzed."
