Authorities are asking for the public's help in identifying the individual who robbed Citizens Bank in Maple Heights last month.

According to police, on Oct. 10, a dark-skinned man with a raspy voice approached two employee's in the outside the back of the building, located at 15765, Broadway Avenue, and ordered them to open the bank.

The man obtained a large sum of money and fled on foot in an unknown direction, police said.

The suspect is described as a man in his 40s, standing about 6-foot tall and weighing around 240 pounds.  He was wearing a surgical mask during the robbery.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call the FBI's Cleveland office at 216-522-1400 or the Maple Heights Police Department at 216-662-1234.

Callers can be anonymous and a reward is available for a tip leading to a successful arrest and prosecution.
