The Mobile Police Department hopes an image taken from a security camera will help in the arrest of a bank robber.
The First Community Bank on Cottage Hill Road was robbed Monday around 4:20 p.m. Officers say the man walked in with a gun and his cellphone. He pointed the gun and demanded money from the teller. An image from the bank's security camera shows the man talking on his phone. Police say the robber may have driven away in silver Nissan Sentra or Altima with a Mississippi license plate.

Here is the description of the bank robber:

a black male, 20 to 25 years old, 5-foot-5, 140 pounds with dark skin and a low haircut. He was wearing black and red Nike Air Max Sneakers, black jeans, a long white T-shirt, and a black ball cap with velvet in the front and mesh in the back.
