MIDDLEVILLE, Mich. — Police are searching for a man who they say robbed the Chemical Bank in Middleville Thursday.

The Barry County Sheriff’s Office says a man entered the bank at 303 Arlington St. at about 3:39 p.m. and passed a note to a teller demanding money.

The man was last seen in the area of Arlington and Sherman streets.  He was wearing a camouflage coat, blue jeans and a hunter orange cap at the time of the robbery.

Thornapple Kellogg schools were placed on lockdown as a precaution after the robbery. The lockdown has since been lifted.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 269-948-4801 or the dispatch center at 269-948-4800.
