Suffolk police are looking for help finding a man who robbed a church credit union on Monday.
According to Suffolk spokesperson Debbie George, police were called to the scene of an armed robbery at Metropolitan Church Credit Union at about 12:41 p.m.
Police reports indicate that a black male entered the building, located in the 100 block of County Street, and then produced a handgun and demanded money.
When a teller ran to the back of the building, the man fired a shot and then fled the scene on foot without getting any cash. No one was injured in the incident.
The subject was described as a black male, possibly in his 20s, wearing a black mask and a gray sweatshirt or jacket.
