At approximately 8:53 a.m. on October 22, 2014, deputies were called to a reported armed robbery at GenFed Credit Union in Antwerp, Ohio

“The investigation shows us two black males entered the bank with hooded sweat shirts and handkerchiefs covering their faces. One of the subjects did produce a handgun during the event. The suspects might have gotten away with an undisclosed amount of cash, but I am most thankful none of the employees were injured,” said Sheriff Jason Landers. “The employees did a remarkable job following protocol.”

Investigators located a stolen Buick Park Avenue in the Riverside Park in Antwerp that had evidence form the robbery inside. Surveillance footage from several sources around the area indicate the suspects fled shorty after the robbery in a gray colored Chevy Impala. It is believed both of these vehicles are stolen from the City of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

“We continue to work this investigation  I am extremely pleased with the cooperation from all agencies involved thus far; from the Antwerp Police to the FBI and everyone in between. This has been and will continue to be a team effort to bring closure to this case,” said Landers.
