Quick Change Scam Artists Rip Off Westlake Bank

WESTLAKE, OH — Two scam artists ripped off a Westlake bank in late April and police are now asking the public for help finding them. The suspects used a quick change scheme to rip off the teller, but police aren't disclosing how much cash was lost.

The theft happened April 25 at about 2 p.m. One of the suspects is a woman, the other is a man.

Witnesses said the woman is middle aged and may be Hispanic, Italian or Middle Eastern. She had brown hair, brown eyes and olive skin. She was short, described as being only about five feet tall, and weighed roughly 150 pounds. She was wearing a white and black shirt with a coat.

The man also had dark features but appeared to be about 20-years-old. He was roughly five feet eight inches tall and thinly built. He was wearing dark colored clothing.

The bank is located on Crocker and Detroit roads, but police did not specify which bank it was.

Anyone that recognizes either of these suspects is asked to contact the Westlake Police Department at 440-871-3311.
