EUGENE, Ore. -- A masked man who claimed he had an explosive device and threatened to use it robbed the drive-up window of Oregon Community Credit Union on 11th Avenue this morning around 9 a.m.

Police are looking for a white male in a black hooded sweatshirt last seen on Ferry Street. Early descriptions of the suspect put him at around 6 feet tall with a medium build.

Officers are still on scene tracking the suspect, so confirmed details are scarce. A photojournalist at the scene observed officers picking up what appeared to be paper currency off the ground.
