Temple Terrace Police are looking for some help identifying two men they say forced a woman to withdraw money from a local ATM and hand it over to them.

The incident happened around 9:15 p.m. March 28 when a woman pulled up to the drive-through ATM lane at Wells Fargo Bank, 9775 N. 56th St. (formerly Wachovia Bank). When she did, two men – one armed with a handgun – approached her vehicle and “forced her to withdraw funds from the ATM while holding her at gunpoint,” a media release from the city said.

Once they got the cash, the men ran behind the bank.
