Rice County authorities are searching for a man they say robbed a bank in Chase.

The robbery took place Tuesday morning at the First Bank, 509 Main Street.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it is launching a plane to help look for the suspect vehicle, described as a green late-90s Ford Explorer.

Police are looking for a black male in his mid-30s. He was around 6'5" tall and had dreadlocks.  He was wearing a long coat. 

Authorities say the man showed a weapon to clerks and demanded money.  He made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to contact police.
