PEMBINE, Wis. — The Marinette County Office of Sheriff is seeking assistance from the public as it searches for the suspect in an armed bank robbery in Pembine, Wis. Monday. The case shares similarities with an attempted credit union robbery in Escanaba Friday.

The incident in Pembine took place at 1:18 p.m. Monday. The suspect is a white male of unknown age described as being between six feet, two inches and six feet, five inches tall, with a thin to medium build.
