OCOEE, Fla. -- Ocoee police are searching for two armed robbers after they took a civilian hostage while holding up bank.
Police responded to the Washington Mutual Bank located at 1784 East Silver Star Road after receiving a call about an armed robbery shortly before 11 a.m. on Saturday.
According to employees, two black men entered the bank and took a civilian hostage as a customer attempted to leave the bank in order to prevent the customer from alerting police.
According to surveillance footage, both men were
wearing ski masks and gloves.
Police said both suspects were armed -- one carried a small automatic rifle and the other had a silver handgun.
According to the police report, the suspect with the handgun pointed the weapon at a bank employee and ordered everyone to the ground. The suspects then demanded money and received $1,000.
The two then fled the scene in a red pickup truck.
No one was injured during the incident.
Police are seeking the public's assistance in locating the two men.
Both suspects are described as black men with medium builds and were estimated to be between 5 feet 5 inches tall and 5 feet 7 inches tall. The robber with the handgun was last seen wearing a dark shirt, blue jean shorts and black sneakers. The rifle-wielding robber was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, dark blue jeans and tan desert military boots. Both are pictured.
