Police are looking for a man wanted for robbing a Wells Fargo bank in Murray on Tuesday afternoon.

Detective Rob Hall said the man entered the branch near 4800 South and 900 East around 4:30 p.m., jumped on the counter, ordered everyone inside to lie on the floor, rifled through some drawers grabbing a small amount of cash and ran out the door.

The man's face was concealed with a dark blue bandana. He is about 5-foot-9 and was wearing a white hat, blue jacket and dark blue pants, Hall said.

A group of police dogs, which happened to be in the area, set up a containment area but were unable to capture the bank

What are people saying about mortgages today:

Rates on 30-year mortgages edged down last week to a seven-month low. Mortgage-giant Freddie Mac reported Thursday that 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages fell to 6.3 percent, down slightly from 6.31 percent two weeks ago. It put rates at the lowest level since they were at 6.24 percent the first week of March.

Bank of Hawaii, Central Pacific Bank, Territorial Savings Bank and Wells Fargo Home Mortgages all cut their 30-year mortgage rates to 5.75 percent this week.

Most people think of a mortgage as a means to an end. After all, you buy a house, not a home loan. But a mortgage is much more than the path to homeownership. It is a financial instrument that must be managed, just like any other financial investment.
