Huntington Bank On Coventry Road Robbed

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH —Two armed men robbed the Huntington Bank on Coventry Road on Wednesday morning. One of the suspects told a customer and an employee that if they moved he would kill them.

The robbery took place at about 8:55 a.m. The men came into the bank brandishing pistols. One of the suspects pointed his gun at a bank employee and a customer and ordered them to the ground. That's when he made his threat, saying if they moved he would kill them.

The second suspect jumped the counter and emptied money from a teller's drawer, placing the cash in a white plastic garbage bag.

After getting the money, the two men ran out of the bank and jumped into a stolen silver Kia. They drove north on Coventry.

Cleveland Heights Police took a report on a car that was stolen at about 8:15 Wednesday morning. The FBI said it is likely the stolen car was the same as the getaway car used at the bank.

The second suspect was also a black man, standing about 5'8. He wore a dark blue hoodie, jeans, tan work boots, blue latex gloves and a black mask.
