GREAT BARRINGTON–  Chief William Walsh reports that the Great Barrington Police Department is investigating a bank robbery that occurred Monday afternoon.

Police responded at about 3:30 p.m. to the Salisbury Bank branch on Main Street. Upon arrival, officers were informed that a male suspect entered the bank and passed a note to a teller demanding money. The suspect fled with a quantity of cash southbound down Rt. 7.

The primary suspect is described as a white male in his late 20s or early 30s, between 5’7″ and 5’9″, with a thin build, weighing about 150 pounds. He was wearing sunglasses and a grey sweatshirt.

No weapon was shown, and no one was injured.
