Atlanta police are looking for the man who walked into a Publix on Wednesday afternoon and robbed the bank inside it.

A man approached the counter of the SunTrust bank inside the grocery store at 2900 Peachtree Road and presented a note demanding money around 2:30 p.m., police said. The teller gave the man an undisclosed amount of cash.

Authorities released two surveillance photos of the suspect.

Anyone with information on the case should call the Atlanta Police Commercial Robbery Unit at 404-546-4255 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. A reward of up to $2,000 is being offered, and callers can remain anonymous.
