Holmes said the suspect walked up to the bank's entrance with a cardboard box and told employees he was making a delivery.  
 
Despite the fact that the bank was closed for business, employees let him in.  He proceeded to tie three of them up before robbing the bank of an undisclosed amount of money, according to Holmes.
 
Holmes said he escaped through the back door.

"We're going to catch this guy, just like we catch all the rest," said Holmes.
 
The suspect was described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 6 inches tall with a light complexion. At the time of the robber he wore beige pants, a dark blue baseball cap and blue robber gloves.
