No one was injured when an alleged robbery suspect made off with an undetermined amount of cash at US Bank just after 4 p.m. Thursday.

The suspect, described as a white male adult in his forties, was wearing a grey, hooded sweatshirt, as well as a another jacket and hat, and dark glasses during the incident, said Sgt. Bill Devine of the Washoe County Sheriff's Incline Substation.
