Vicksburg and Warren County authorities are looking for a man who robbed the Trustmark Bank, 2205 North Frontage Road.

Vicksburg police Lt. Johnnie Edwards said a man entered the bank about 11:44 a.m. Tuesday and told the teller she was being robbed. The man did not show a gun, he said, but had one hand in a pants pocket and acted like he had a weapon.

The man tossed a white plastic bag on the counter and the teller filled it with an undisclosed amount of money. The man left the bank heading eastbound on North Frontage Road in a silver Dodge or Chrysler van.

The suspected robber was described as a white man about 5 feet 10 inches tall and thin with a full gray beard and wearing glasses.
