Flourtown bank robbed by two bandits

Two bandits, one with a black handgun, robbed the TD Bank branch at 1240 Bethlehem Pike, Flourtown, Wednesday afternoon.

The FBI and Springfield Township police said that at 3:07 the pair entered the bank and approached a teller. One demanded money at gunpoint, police said. The teller placed an unknown amount of cash in a canvas bag. The men fled on foot toward Jones Avenue. Police said the suspects may have left the area in a gray or gold car.

Police said the gunman is a black male in his late 20s, 5-feet-8 to 5-feet-10, of medium build, with a short beard or goatee, and wearing a blue hat with "KC" on the front, a white shirt, and dark pants. The second man is described as a black male in his late 20s, of the same height and build as the gunman, wearing a red hat, a Nike shirt, and tan pants.

Police said the men should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information may call the FBI at 215-418-4000. - Bonnie L. Cook
