A school was put in lockdown for a time after the man held up the ANZ Bank in Glenfield on the North Shore early yesterday afternoon.

He ran off with cash and reportedly asked a nearby resident to call a taxi for him, but continued running when police officers arrived.

Police have released CCTV footage of the robbery and are asking anyone who recognises the robber - who was in a white hoodie - to contact them.

They also want to speak to a woman who went into the bank ahead of him, saying she could help the investigation.
