OAKLAND PARK, Fla. -- Police are searching for a man with a bruised face who robbed an Oakland Park bank and had a dye pack explode on him in the parking lot.

According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, the robbery occurred just after 2:15 p.m. Thursday at a Bank of America in the 1600 block of East Oakland Park Boulevard.
