On Jan. 10, 2020 at approximately 9:45 a.m., police attended to a bank located in the south end of the city, in response to a robbery that had just occurred.

Two parties entered the bank, dressed in dark clothing and wearing masks and gloves. They demanded to be let into the vault, but were told by employees that this particular site was a cashless bank.

Witnesses inside the bank advised police that although no firearm was seen, one of the suspects kept their hand in the front pocket of their sweater, as if there was a firearm hidden inside.

The suspects fled the scene without obtaining any money. They were last seen driving a newer model white, 4-door Honda Civic hatchback. Multiple officers checked the area, but were unable to locate the vehicle or the suspects.
