A bank in downtown Libertyville was robbed of an undetermined amount of cash Monday morning by a woman who displayed a small handgun, police said.

Libertyville police responded to a call of a holdup alarm about 11:23 a.m. at Harris Bank, 354 N. Milwaukee Ave. While en route, police were told an armed robbery had occurred about five minutes earlier and the offender had fled the area.

 

Police said a woman entered the bank, handed the teller a note demanding money and displayed a small silver handgun.
