The armored car guard, a woman, was reportedly attacked while either making a delivery or picking up money at the bank.
Police say she was put in a headlock by the suspect, who may have been armed with a knife.
The man then fled with her gun and a bag filled with hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to authorities. Published reports estimate the take at $300,000.
The guard was not seriously injured.
Police describe the suspect as a large man wearing a gray sweatshirt with a hoodie covering his face.
He fled the scene, but was captured on security cameras at the bank.
