WEST MANCHESTER, Preble County —

Sheriff’s deputies are on the lookout for the man who robbed the United Midwest Savings Bank of an undisclosed amount of money on Thursday morning.

The robber, described as white, approximately 5-foot-6-inches tall and 150 pounds with beard stubble, walked into the bank, at U.S. 127 and Scott Street, at 10:24 a.m.

He demanded money from the cashier and left. He was wearing blue jeans, a tan winter vest with a blue and red stripe across the back, a blue long-sleeve shirt and blue stocking cap, according to the Preble County Sheriff’s Office.
