PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The FBI is searching for a man they say robbed a Suntrust Bank branch, 3375 Parkway in Pigeon Forge, Thursday afternoon.

Investigators say a man claiming to have a weapon held up the bank around 1:00 p.m before getting away with an undisclosed amount of money. Witnesses say he left on foot.

"Witnesses described the suspect as a white male, with brown hair, in his early 30s, with long sideburns and short facial hair, between 5’10”and 6” tall, approximately 210 to 220 pounds with a medium build," according to an FBI release. "Suspect was wearing blue jeans, a black shirt with white buttons, and a light-colored, boonie hat."

A reward is being offered for information leading to the suspect's arrest. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 865-544-0751 or the Pigeon Forge Police Department at 865-453-9063.
