Scottsdale police are looking for this bank robbery suspect.

Scottsdale police are investigating a bank robbery involving an armed robber who entered a branch of Wells Fargo bank in north Scottsdale yelling and firing a handgun Friday.

AUDIO: Listen to 911 call

The robber entered the bank at 15760 N. Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd. near 90th Street at 9:35 a.m. and brandished two handguns, yelled that he was robbing the bank and demanded money from the tellers, police said.

A bank employee called 911 to report the robbery.

The robber fired two shots into the ceiling of the bank and took an undisclosed amount of cash before fleeing in a dark sedan, possibly a late 1990s Ford Taurus.

Scottsdale police said none of the more than 20 customers and employees inside the bank was injured.

The robber was described as a white man in his late 20s or 30s, wearing dark clothing, a fake beard, a hat and sunglasses.

Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to call the Scottsdale Police Department at (480) 312-5000.
