UTICA, N.Y. — Utica Police are seeking a bearded white male who was wearing a Yankees baseball cap in connection with the robbery of the GPO Federal Credit Union Monday.

According to police, around 5 p.m. at the credit union branch at 2711 Genesee St., a man entered and handed a teller a note, and demanded money.
