Two Men Indicted For Robbing Richmond Heights Bank

CLEVELAND, OH — Two Cleveland men have been charged for robbing a Richmond Heights Bank on Dec. 6. The men are accused of robbing nearly the Dollar Bank of nearly $2,000.

Qaid Azeem and Zubali Ikangua Bell have both been indicted on one count of bank robbery. The men allegedly robbed the bank, located at 5201 Wilson Mills Road, taking $1,935 through force, violence and intimidation, the Department of Justice said.

The FBI led the investigation into the robbery.

The Richmond Heights Dollar Bank has frequently been the target of robberies, last being hit in mid-February when three men robbed the bank. During that incident, the suspects demanded money from the tellers. One of the suspects vaulted the counter. The second suspect held the people inside the bank at gunpoint.

The suspects got the money and then ran out of the bank. They got into a four-door burgundy colored Hyundai, with the license plate HHM 1555. That car had been stolen, at gunpoint, on Feb. 4, 2018.
