Armed Suspects Robs Richmond Heights Bank

RICHMOND HEIGHTS, OH — The Ohio Savings Bank in Richmond Heights was robbed by an armed suspect Thursday, the FBI said. The suspect had a semiautomatic handgun, but no one was hurt during the incident.

The bank, located at 720 Richmond Rd., was robbed at about 4 p.m. on Thursday. Two suspects came to the bank in a tan 2008 Hyundai sedan. That car was reported stolen by a Cleveland resident on Dec. 17.

The passenger in the car jumped out and went into the bank. He was wearing a dark mask and hood and dark gloves. He jumped over the counter at the bank and pulled out a semiautomatic handgun. He pointed the gun at tellers and demanded money.

Cash was taken from multiple teller drawers. The suspect then took the money and put it into a plastic grocery bag and ran out of the bank. He got back into the stolen Hyundai and the two suspects drove off. No one was hurt during the incident.

Tips can be provided to the Richmond Heights Police Department or the Cleveland FBI. Reward money is available for information leading to the identification and arrest of the suspects. Tips can remain anonymous. The non-emergency phone number for Richmond Heights Police is (216) 486-1234.
