A bank robber in Hastings got the cash, but he didn't get far before a dye pack exploded and he dropped the money and his windbreaker as he got in a vehicle and fled, the Minneapolis FBI said.
Authorities are still looking for the suspect who held up the TCF Bank at 1729 Market Blvd. around 11:15 a.m. Friday and left in a late model black Toyota sedan driven by an accomplice, said Special Agent Paul McCabe.
The robber is described as a black man in his late 20s, between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 6 inches, with a medium build, dark complexion and goatee.
He was wearing a white T-shirt, dark pants, a blue windbreaker and white running shoes with a black inset. Authorities said he dropped the windbreaker and the cash when a dye pack exploded in the bank's parking lot.
A reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect. Anybody is asked to call the FBI at 612-376-3200.
