Police say they're searching for a white suspect who held up a bank in Maryland while disguised in blackface.
Perryville Police Chief Allen Miller told ABC News on Thursday that the teller who was robbed initially described the robber as black, but after investigators reviewed security video, they noticed the crook's white skin between his right gloved hand and jacket sleeve.
"You could see that he was not a black male," Miller said."He had obviously covered his face in black something. I don't know if it was makeup or what. We're still investigating."A surveillance image of a white man committing a robbery while wearing blackface at the PNC Bank in Perryville, Md., Jan. 28, 2020.

Don't give me a moneybag. I want all the money in the drawer,'" Miller said."He scooped up the money and left. It took about 15 to 20 seconds total for this to happen," Miller said.
"In almost 40 years in law enforcement, this was the first time I ever remember a person going into a bank with blackface on," Miller said."This is a first for me in my career."
