Police are looking for a gunman who robbed a woman making a deposit at a Castor Avenue ATM last week.

The 57-year-old woman was at the Wells Fargo Bank ATM at 6611 Castor Ave. at 11:23 p.m. on Nov. 24 when a man armed with a handgun approached her from behind and demanded money.

When the victim turned, she saw a short, slender black man pointing a weapon at her. The man took the victim’s deposit and fled on foot toward Cottman Avenue, police said Tuesday morning.

The man was about 20 years old, stood 5 feet tall, weighed about 140 pounds, and was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and black shoes, police said.
