A masked man robbed a Palm Desert bank at gunpoint this afternoon, and police are searching for the man.
The man walked into 1st Bank at 42035 Washington Street, near Varner Road, about 3 p.m.
He demanded money, then took off on foot toward Motel 6 and the vacant dirt field just east of the bank, according to dispatchers.
The man spoke with a European accent and was described as having a thin build and was wearing a black mask, black hat, and black jacket.
Police suspect the man is the same person who held up the bank on Aug. 25.
No one was hurt.
Officers immediately set up a perimeter around the bank and called in police dogs to track the scent of the robber.
