Cambridge police are investigating a bank robbery Wednesday afternoon and a search is underway for a suspect, police said.
Police were called to Brattle Square at 1:06 p.m. to a bank robbery, said Jeremy Warnick, a spokesman for Cambridge Police.
Warnick said the suspect passed a note to a teller requesting money, then he fled and a dye pack with the stolen money exploded nearby. No weapons were seen, he said.
Warnick declined to give an exact amount of cash or name the bank where the robbery occurred.
He said the dye pack was found and some money was recovered at University Road.
