Mandurah Police are on the hunt for a man after an alleged armed robbery at a Sholl Street bank on Monday afternoon.
About 2.10pm, police were called to Mandurahs central business district after receiving reports that a man had swindled a significant amount of money from St. George Bank.
Police have urged the public to keep on the look out for a fair-skinned man, about 175 centimetres, wearing a black cap, dark sunglasses and jumper.
Mandurahs detective senior sergeant Trevor Troy said the man entered the building and handed a bank teller a note that demanded an undisclosed quantity of cash.
