Police are looking for a man who disguised himself as a construction worker and robbed a Kunia-area bank Thursday, police said.

At 2:40 p.m., the man, described as between the ages of 20 and 30, 5 feet 10, 160 to 180 pounds, walked into the bank.

The man passed the teller a note demanding money and walked out of the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash. He took off running behind the Royal Kunia Shopping Center.

WOMAN ARRESTED IN MAN'S STABBING

A woman was arrested Thursday after she stabbed a man in the chest with a syringe, police said.
