The Pasco County Sheriff's Office is searching for a man who used a machete in a bank robbery.

The man entered the Bank of America, 5923 State Road 54, in New Port Richey, about 9:45 a.m., sheriff's spokesman Kevin Doll said. No one was injured in the robbery, Doll said.

The suspect is described as 35 to 45 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 200 pounds. He had a plastic mask covering his face, the sheriff's office said. The man was wearing dark pants, a green Army-style jacket with a backpack under it, a black wool cap and gloves.

The man fled behind the bank with an undisclosed amount of money. No getaway car was seen, Doll said.

Anyone with information should call the Pasco sheriff's office at (727) 847-5878.
