Antwerp, Ohio— At 12:50 p.m. today a call was received in regards to an Armed Robbery occurring at GenFed Financial located on road 424 just east of the Village of Antwerp, Ohio.
Responding officers discovered four suspects entered the bank brandishing handguns and demanded cash from the three tellers. The suspects were wearing hooded jackets with different styles of face coverings. None of the bank tellers were injured during the robbery. The suspects did get away with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Two of the suspects were wearing gray hooded jackets, and two were wearing black jackets. The suspects fled the scene in a gray or silver SUV westbound from the bank.
“This bank was robbed on October 22, 2014, and the same method was utilized today, said Sheriff Landers. It makes me sick that these tellers had to experience one bank robbery in their life and now another. I am disappointed I have not been able to apprehend the suspects from the first robbery, because I am convinced these were the same criminals today.”
The FBI and Antwerp Police Department assisted the Sheriff’s Office at the scene.
