Altoona Police are searching for a man stained with red ink who robbed a city bank Thursday afternoon.
The incident happened around 2:30PM at Citizens Bank on Broad Avenue near the Jaffa Mosque. Detectives say a white male entered the bank wearing a surgical mask and told a teller he had bronchitis. He then handed a teller a note demanding money.
Police say a red dye pack placed inside the bag of money exploded and the suspect dropped some of the money as he fled. Police believe he may have been headed for a getaway car.
The suspect was wearing sunglasses, a Pitt Panthers ball cap and a long-sleeve U.S. Polo Association shirt. Anyone with information on the robbery is urged to contact city police at 949-2489.

I would've just posted this on Facebook, but Facebook doesn't allow you to post GIFs (like this little animation).
Maybe the $1.1 BILLION price tag isn't so crazy?
