NEW IBERIA, La. (KPEL News) - Police in New Iberia are asking for the public's help in identifying a man wanted for a bank robbery.

On Friday, the man entered a branch of Capital One Bank on East Admiral Doyle Drive. The suspect was wearing what police are calling a "surgical mask." He handed one of the tellers a note, demanding money, and fled the scene once he was handed the cash.

The amount of money stolen is not being disclosed at this time.

A nearby business, however, was able to get footage of the suspect with and without the mask.
