FBI seeks 3 suspects in armed bank robbery
The FBI is looking for three suspects after an armed bank robbery in East Pikeland Township, Chester County on Tuesday morning.
The robbery happened around 11 a.m. at the Wells Fargo Bank branch at 200 Schuylkill Road.
The trio was dressed in all black with ski masks on their face.
They stormed in with guns drawn and demanded money from the 7 bank employees and one customer.
"One of the actors ordered everyone to stay down, nobody would get hurt, waved the gun around to everybody," East Pikeland Police Cpl. Ben Martin said.
Within a couple of minutes, the bandits were out the back door with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Investigators say they may have fled in a blue minivan.
The bank is in the Shoppes of Valley Forge complex along Schuylkill Road. The area is bustling with activity midmorning.
"If you saw anything, please don't be hesitant to call, might seem very innocuous to you but may be the crucial key to flip this," Martin said.
Police along with the FBI say the bank robbery may be connected to a similar robbery at this Wells Fargo in Bala Cynwyd earlier this month.
The suspects appear similar, though, they are heavily concealed.
"We are looking into that, don't have anything concrete connecting them other than the obvious what they did, time of day, things of that nature," Martin said.
