CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH - The Key Bank on Mayfield Road in Cleveland Heights was robbed on April 8. The FBI say they are working to identify the lone male suspect who robbed the bank.

According to law enforcement, the suspect walked into the bank at 9:45 a.m. brandishing a black, semiautomatic pistol and carrying a bag. He approached the tellerline, jumped the counter, and shouted that he was robbing the bank.

He demanded the teller open their cash drawers and get on the floor. He robbed two teller stations and tried to get access to the bank's vault, but was unsuccessful.

The suspect then ran out of the bank, heading east. The FBI says they aren't sure if the suspect fled the area on foot or got into a car, but not additional suspects were seen by witnesses.
