Police are looking for a man who used a wheelchair as part of a disguise just before robbing an Ahwatukee bank Tuesday morning, according to officials.

The robber rolled into the bank at about 10:30 a.m. and waited for customers to leave, according to Phoenix police. Once the customers were gone, the man got out of the wheelchair and used a handgun to demand money.

With the money in hand, the man fled on foot through a strip mall, leaving behind the wheelchair.

Police say they are looking for a 180-pound, Hispanic male in his late 20s or early 30s, about 5 feet, 7 to 9 inches.

During the burglary, the man was clean-shaven and wore sunglasses, a straw hat, a blue pinstriped dress shirt and jeans.
