Authorities are looking for a man who robbed a U.S. Bank in Little Rock early Tuesday afternoon.

It happened about 12:30 p.m. at the branch at 10720 N. Rodney Parham Road.

A black male walked into the bank shortly after noon and implied he had a weapon, though he did not show one, and demanded money at the counter, Little Rock Police Department Lt. Sidney Allen said. A police spokesman initially said the robber displayed a handgun.

A bank teller gave the man an undisclosed amount of cash, and he ran northeast from the bank.

No one was injured during the robbery, and investigators were still on scene at 1:45 p.m. Authorities were looking at surveillance footage from the bank to come up with a full suspect description, Allen said.

The same bank was held up in June, and Little Rock authorities have investigated several other bank robberies in recent weeks, including a holdup at the U.S. Bank near Park Plaza Mall on Nov. 26.

Roderick Wilbert, 42, was arrested in connection with the June robbery of the U.S. Bank at 10720 N. Rodney Parham Road as well as the robbery of a Summit Bank branch two days later.
