Columbia Police Department (CPD) Investigators are releasing surveillance video of two armed suspects who robbed a North Columbia bank last week.
Officers were dispatched to the First Citizens Bank at 2621 North Main Street shortly before 11:00 a.m. on January 24, 2018.
Several witnesses provided information to officers about the crime, including a description of the armed men. The suspects were both wearing colorful hoodies that mostly covered their faces.
Thankfully the victims were not injured, however, the armed suspects forced customers and employees to lay face down on the floor during the robbery. The suspects then jumped over the counter and stole cash before leaving the store. They may have escaped in the white car that is included in the video.
Citizens are encouraged to pay close attention to the robbers’ clothing and stature. One of the suspects may be left-handed.
