Police say a man dressed in women’s clothing robbed a Smithtown bank on April Fool’s Day.

The man entered the TD Bank on Nesconset Highway around 4 p.m. on Wednesday and displayed a note that said he had a gun and demanded cash, the Suffolk County Police Department said. The teller gave the man an undetermined amount of cash.

The suspect fled west from the bank, police said, possibly in a light-colored vehicle.

Detectives from the SCPD’s Pattern Crime Unit are investigating the robbery. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-220-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
