EUCLID, OH - For the second time in less than two months, the Citizens Bank in Euclid has been robbed. Three men hit Citizens Bank at 23300 Lakeshore Blvd., Euclid on Jan. 12. Now police are asking for help identifying the suspects.

At about 10:15 a.m., the three men came into the bank. They pepper sprayed the bank's 6'10" security guard. Then they walked into the teller line and ordered everyone to get on the ground. One of the suspects then hurtled the counter and emptied two drawers into a blue bag.

The men were seen fleeing the bank and running east on Lakeshore Boulevard. No one was badly hurt during the robbery.

Police said that the first suspect is described as approximately 5'6" and black. The second suspect is approximately 6'0" and black.
