Authorities are searching for this suspect in connection with the robbery of a Philadelphia Wells Fargo Bank on Monday.

Authorities are searching for a man, apparently in need of a toothbrush, who robbed a Philadelphia bank Monday.

Police say that the suspect entered the Wells Fargo Bank at 2005 Market Street around 1:20 p.m. and handed the teller a demand note. 

After receiving an undisclosed amount of cash, authorities say the suspect fled the bank on foot. 

The suspect is described as a black male in his late 20's or early 30's, standing between 5'7" and 5'8" with a slim build and a beard and mustache. 

He was seen wearing a grey v-neck T-shirt with dark-colored pants and aviator sunglasses. 

Most notably, however, witnesses said the man had a v-shaped gap in his bottom front teeth, coated by what appeared to be quite a bit of dental plaque. 

Anyone with information on the suspect, who is considered armed and dangerous, or the robbery is asked to call the FBI at 215-418-4000 or the Philadelphia Police Department at 215-686-8477.
