The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says the incident happened at the Wells Fargo located at 1562 Atlantic Boulevard while five employees were inside.

According to police, the man walked into the bank and slipped a note to the clerk demanding money. The clerk gave him the money and pressed the panic button as soon as he left the property. JSO says police were able to respond to the scene in minutes. 

No customers were inside the bank at the time of the incident and there were no injuries. Police also say that the man didn't flash a weapon during the crime or indicate that he had one.
