An armed man robbed a bank on West Kearney Street Friday morning before fleeing in a grey sedan without a license plate, according to the Springfield Police Department.

The man walked into the Guaranty Bank, located at 1905 W. Kearney St., displayed a firearm and demanded money from a clerk, said Springfield Police Department Public Affairs Officer Cris Swaters.

The man received an undisclosed amount of money and left in a grey sedan without a license plate, Swaters said. The police received the call from the bank at 11:39 a.m.

The unknown man was wearing dark clothing, gloves and a skull sweatshirt, Swaters said. The back of the sweatshirt showed a yellow circle with “welcome” on it.
