It happened at the Citizen's Bank on Route 8, and a nearby school was locked down because of it.

According to investigators, the robber had on latex gloves, a hoodie and was wearing the mask to hide their identity.

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."
