Authorities in Monroe are searching for a man known as the "Michael Moore bandit."

Police said the man entered the bank at 602 Monroe Avenue and implied that he had a weapon. An undetermined amount of cash was taken in the robbery.
The man was last seen walking south from the bank.
He's described as white, in his 40s, 6 feet tall, with a beard and wearing a plaid shirt and a baseball cap.
Police said the man is also wanted for two robberies in Westland and for a robbery in Carleton, Mich.
