GIRARD — City police are still looking for a man who attempted to rob a restaurant employee making a deposit at the Chase Bank on West Liberty Street.

According to police reports, the 28-year-old woman went to the bank’s deposit window at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday. After depositing funds from her employer and returning to her car, a man pulled open the car door and demanded she hand over the money.

The woman, reports said, told the man she already had deposited the money. The man dumped the contents of the woman’s purse looking for the money, then threatened to kill her and her family if she called police. The man ran off in the direction of the post office.
