TULSA, OK -- Police are searching for the man who committed Tulsa's ninth bank robbery this year.

The Arvest Bank at 36th Street and Yale Avenue was robbed about 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Sgt. Dave Walker of Tulsa Police said.

A man presented a note to a teller that implied he had a weapon and demanded cash. The teller gave him an undetermined amount of cash, and the robber carried the money in his hand and ran west from the bank.
