Bank Robbed by Two Men in Stafford: Police

STAFFORD, VA — Two masked, gun-wielding men robbed the Union 1st Market Bank Monday morning and escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash, according to the Stafford County Sheriff's Office.

One suspect, police say, is a black male with a medium build and around 5-9. He was wearing blue jeans, a camouflage jacket with a yellow construction vest, and brown and white "truckers" hat, sunglasses and dark gloves.

The other suspect, according to police, is a black male with a thin build and around 6-0. He was wearing blue jeans, a dark long sleeve shirt, a yellow construction vest, a brown and white "truckers" hat, sunglasses and dark gloves.

Both suspects were wearing dark bandannas covering their faces.

Around 10:30 a.m., multiple police units responded to a report of a bank robbery at 1044 Warrenton Road. The two suspects walked up to teller windows, flashed guns and demanded cash.

They fled in a small two-door vehicle later found about two miles from the bank on a wooded trail off Peacock Station Drive. The vehicle had been reported stolen from Richmond, and witnesses saw a two-door, late-model silver Mercedes Benz in the area at the same time the first vehicle entered the neighborhood.

Police believe the suspects abandoned the first vehicle and escaped in the Mercedes Benz.

Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to call the Stafford County Sheriff's Office at 540-658-4400.
