Police looking for man who tried to rob bank

Independence police are looking for a man they said tried to rob a bank Tuesday morning.
Tom Gentry, spokesperson for police, said officers were called to the US Bank located at 110 U.S. 24, at about 11:25 a.m. Tuesday.
A bank teller said a black male, possibly in his 20s, approximately 5 foot, 7inches, and weighing 170 pounds, demanded money from a teller. Unsuccessful, the man reportedly left the bank.
No one reported seeing the suspect with a weapon, Gentry said. Six photos of the suspect show him during the attempted robbery.
