Police are investigating a robbery on Saturday at the Citibank on Northern Boulevard in Flower Hill, at least the fourth robbery in the area in the last two weeks. 

Detectives said a man approached a teller with a note demanding money while displaying a handgun. He then left the bank and fled west through the parking lot on foot. Authorities have not revealed the amount of money he took.

The suspect is described as a black male with an average build who is approximately 6 feet tall. He wore a light-colored hooded jacket, black pants, gloves and face mask, police said.
