A woman with a large bandage on her face robbed a bank in Roseville late Thursday morning and fled, authorities said.

The heist occurred about 11 a.m. at North Star Bank on Lexington Avenue, a few blocks north of Larpenteur Avenue, according to the FBI.

The woman handed a teller a note demanding cash and fled with an undisclosed sum, the FBI said.

The suspect is described as having pale white skin and a facial bandage concealing about half of her face. She is 5 feet 4 inches tall, with a thin build. She was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, over a brimmed hat. She wore dark cloth gloves.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call the FBI at 612-376-3200 or police at 651-767-0640.
