North Branford police are still searching for the suspect in this morning's bank robbery at First Niagra Bank on Foxon Road. The NBPD called in Chase, the department's police dog, to track the suspect.

Chase tracked the suspect's trail through a wooded area to Marshfield Condominiums, located next to the bank, where officers found a discarded pile of clothing–a hooded sweatshirt and Giants knit hat–matching the suspect's description.
