Manhunt On For 3 Armed Bank Robbery Suspects

The Temple Terrace Police Department is looking for help identifying three suspects it said tried to rob a bank Friday morning.

According to the agency, two armed men walked into the Wells Fargo Bank, 9775 N. 56th St., around 10 a.m. The men attempted to rob the bank, but were not successful, the agency wrote in an email to media.

When the attempt failed, the men fled in a green 2004 Volkswagen Jetta, which was driven by a third suspect.

The Jetta, as it turns out, was reported stolen from Lee County. It was found a short time later at Florida College, 119 N. Glen Arven Ave. The suspects set the Jetta on fire before taking off in a silver 2004 Toyota Tundra with the Florida license tag number U899UM. Police say that vehicle was also reported stolen out of Lee County.

The suspects in the case should be “considered armed and dangerous,” police wrote.

Anyone with information about the men or who spots the Tundra is asked to contact the Temple Terrace Police Department at 813-989-7110.
