Marion police have asked for the public's help in identifying the person who robbed Pilgrim Bank, at 350 Front St., on Friday afternoon.

The suspect was described as a white male, who is close to six feet tall, with a thin build. Police said he wore a gray t-shirt with a red American Eagle brand logo, blue jeans and a green and white Boston Celtics baseball hat. A white gauze bandage was wrapped around his head during the robbery.

Police advise anyone with information regarding the robbery to contact Det. Scott Smith at 508-748-1212.

At 1:25 p.m., police responded to 911 call reporting the robbery. According to police, the suspect demanded money from the bank teller with a note. The suspect did not threaten anyone with a weapon, police said.

When the suspect began to leave the bank a customer attempted to detain the person. A brief struggle ensued and the suspect dropped most of the money at that time, police said.

After the struggle, the suspect fled the bank toward Spring Street and Route 6. A K-9 unti from the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department searched the area. Nobody was found.

"It is believed the suspect may have fled to a nearby vehicle and left the area," police said in a press release.
