GROTON — A masked man armed with a handgun robbed the M&T Bank on Long Hill Road Wednesday afternoon, police said.
The suspect, described as a white male, entered the bank at 3:11 p.m. on March 5 and presented a note demanding money.
According to the Groton Town Police Department, the note was written on an envelope and informed tellers that the suspect was armed.
