Police searched a Berkeley neighborhood for hours for a suspect who robbed a laundromat this morning but concluded the search without making an arrest, according to police.  

The robbery at the laundromat in the 2400 block of Sacramento Street was reported at 8:31 a.m., police said. 

As of noontime, police were still searching the surrounding neighborhood for a suspect. 

Residents have been warned that the suspect is believed to be armed. The suspect is described as a black man under 30 years old standing 5 feet 11 inches tall with a slim build, police spokeswoman Officer Jennifer Coats said. 

He was wearing a long-sleeved gray hooded sweatshirt during the robbery and may have silver teeth, Coats said. 

Residents were advised to stay inside their homes and call 911 if they saw or heard anything suspicious.
