The robbers hit the Wells Fargo bank branch in Hopewell on Jan. 22 and a second bank on Feb. 21 in Langhorne, Pa.
HOPEWELL -- The FBI has released surveillance photos from a pair of armed robberies at Wells Fargo bank branches in Hopewell Township, Mercer County and Langhorne, Pa. earlier this year to help identify the suspects.
On Jan. 22, two masked men robbed the Wells Fargo bank at 2 Washington Crossing-Pennington Road in Hopewell. After announcing the robbery at around 10 a.m., one of the men vaulted the counter and took money while the other man brandished a handgun near the entrance in the public area of the bank, police said.
The men left the bank and police believe they fled in a car parked in a nearby shopping center.
A second Wells Fargo branch on East Lincoln Highway in Langhorne, Pa. was robbed by two masked men wearing gloves under nearly identical circumstances on Feb. 21. One of the robbers carried a silver semi-automatic handgun and remained in the public area of the bank while the second robber jumped over the counter and piled cash into a red bag with black drawstrings, authorities said.
The amount of money taken in the two robberies was not disclosed.
During the Langhorne robbery, the man standing guard with the gun was also carrying a red plastic five-gallon container, but the robbers never made reference to the container and its purpose in the robbery is unknown, the FBI said.
The men are described by the FBI as black males, in their mid-20s to mid-30s, and approximately 5-feet, 10-inches, and 6-feet tall.
