Man robs bank, gets away on mountain bike

A man dressed in a sport coat and who rode a mountain bike managed to
rob a Norton Shores bank Wednesday and get away with an undetermined
amount of cash, police said.

As of late afternoon Wednesday, authorities were still unable to
locate the suspect who walked into the Fifth Third Bank, 710 Seminole,
at 11:48 a.m. He "implied he had a weapon," jumped over a counter and
grabbed wads of cash, said Norton Shores Police Detective Lt. Tim
LaVigne.

"He made some statements. He implied that he had a weapon, but nothing
was seen," LaVigne said.

"He jumped over the counter and started taking cash out of a cash
drawer."

No one was injured during the incident, LaVigne said.

"He fled out the door and rode off on a bike," he said.

Several witnesses saw the man leave on the bicycle.

The suspect may have been covered in red dye at some point after he
fled because a dye pack hidden in the money the man took may have
activated, LaVigne said.

Authorities searched the area for some time trying to locate the
suspect, but he was still at large.

Some money was discovered in the area during the search for the
suspect, LaVigne said.

Muskegon Heights Police assisted at the scene.
