    Bank of Hawaii's Ke'eaumoku branch was robbed yesterday by a man who used a demand note but displayed no weapon.

    The robbery at 1451 S. King St. occurred at 1:57 p.m. It was Honolulu's 13th bank robbery of the year and the second in six days at a Bank of Hawaii branch.

    The suspect in yesterday's case handed a teller a note demanding money and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. He was last seen running in the kokohead direction on South King Street.

    The robber stands about 5-feet-6, weighs 160 pounds and has a tattoo on his wrist. He was wearing a blue T-shirt with "Abercrombie & Fitch" lettering, blue denim shorts, white sneakers and a white baseball cap.
