PASADENA — A man used a note and a handgun to rob a Citibank branch Saturday, police said Sunday.

A robber entered the bank branch, at the corner of Foothill and Rosemead boulevards, about noon and handed a teller a note demanding cash, Pasadena police Lt. Diego Torres said.

The robber brandished a handgun during the crime as well, the lieutenant said.

He fled with about $6,500 in stolen money, Torres said. No getaway car was seen.

Police described the robber as a white man, 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, of medium build, wearing a green jacket, a white baseball cap and sunglasses.

The FBI has joined Pasadena police in the case, as is customary in bank robbery investigation.
