A masked gunman robbed a bank southwest of the Twin Cities and remains at large, federal authorities said.

The holdup of the First National Bank of Gaylord occurred about 10:40 a.m. Monday, according to the FBI.

The man came into the bank in Sibley County through a back entrance, displayed a black handgun and demanded money from the teller, the FBI said.

Anyone with information about the heist in the city of 2,100 is asked to call the FBI at 612-376-3200.
