COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs police are investigating the city's fourteenth bank robbery of 2011.

Around 11:53 a.m. Monday, a white man entered the Wells Fargo Bank in the 0 block of South Cascade Avenue in the downtown area armed with a gun.

The man demanded money and got away with an undisclosed amount of cash in a black backpack.

Police said the man is in his 50s and is about 5'11." He was wearing a green baseball hat, tan pants and a button up shirt. He left eastbound on foot and supposedly had crutches with him, though police did not say whether he actually used them.

Nobody reported any injuries.

Of the 14 bank robberies in the city so far this year, 10 have been closed with arrests. One of the 14 banks robbed was a Wells Fargo on Feb. 16, but it wasn't this branch.
