PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia police are searching for a man who robbed a Rite Aid using just a note on Friday morning.

Police said the man initially acted as if he was going to make a purchase, but then handed an employee a demand note which read in part: "Give me all the money. I'm sorry, I have a sick child. You have 15 seconds."

Authorities said the man then left the store with an undetermined amount of cash.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Philadelphia police.
