Police are asking for help in finding and identifying an armed man in his 30s who robbed at 1 p.m. the First Hawaiian Bank in Kapahulu.

A CrimeStoppers bulletin was issued Wednesday, saying the man entered the bank on Kapahulu Avenue, handed the teller a demand note and brandished a firearm.

He was given an undisclosed amount of cash and fled.

The bank’s surveillance cameras caught images of the man.

He has a teardrop tattoos next to each of his eyes.

The suspect wore a gray hoodie with white and black stripes, dark colored pants, black shoes and a black and white New York Yankees cap. He also had a black backpack.

The weapon used was a black semi-automatic handgun, police said.
