PALMA police were last night hunting an armed robber who held up the branch of the Banca March in Joan Miro yesterday.
The suspect is thought to be a drug addict and marched into the back at 1.30 pm, wearing a pair of dark glasses and brandishing a fire arm.
He pointed the weapon at the two bank employees and demanded that they hand over the money.
The two bank clerks, said to have been extremely scared and nervous, complied with the armed robber's wishes.
The suspect then walked out of the bank, jumped on a moped and sped away from the scene.
Police were at the scene within minutes, but apparently the suspect fled the scene so quickly, police lost any trace of the robber.
Police units fanned out in the direction of Palma and Porto Pi, but last night there was still no news of an arrest, but last night officers were combing through the recordings taken by the closed circuit video system inside the bank.
