Police are searching for a gunman who robbed a bank in a wheelchair disguise.
Detectives say the man rolled into AmTrust Bank near Chandler Boulevard and 40th Street Tuesday morning.
The suspect demanded money from a teller at gunpoint.
The teller complied and he placed the cash it in what appeared to be a laptop bag.
The suspect got away with $70,000.
He was last seen getting out of the wheelchair and running away from the bank.
According to police, witnesses said he may have driven away in a newer model red Ford Taurus.
He was wearing a long-sleeved pinstripe shirt, a tan Fedora hat with a red and blue stripe, jeans and black boots.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic man, about 5' 7" to 5' 9" tall. He has a slim build, weighing about 180 pounds and in his late 20s to early 30s.
Surveillance images have not yet been released.
