Police are searching for a suspect who robbed a TD Bank on the Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike this afternoon.

At about 12:45 p.m., a white male with a thin build dressed in a grey hooded sweatshirt walked into the bank at 921 Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike and handed the teller a note demanding money. Police say the man implied he had a gun but it was never shown.
