Bank Robbed In Shaker Heights, FBI Searches For Suspect

SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH — The PNC Bank on Chagrin Boulevard was robbed on Wednesday, the FBI announced.

At 3:15 p.m., a man walked into the bank while holding a grocery bag. He leapt over the teller counter and threw the bag at one of the tellers. He then ordered the teller to, "give me the money, put the money in the bag, no funny money and no playing."

The teller filled the bag with money and then handed it back to the man. The suspect then turned to another teller and told them to empty her drawer and fill the bag with money, an FBI spokesperson said.

The suspect then gave the bag back to the first teller and told them to get money from a third teller. After getting the cash, the suspect jumped back over the counter and warned the tellers not to follow him.

He then ran out of the back doors of the bank.

The suspect was 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighed between 200 and 250 pounds. He appeared to be in his late 40s or early 50s. He was wearing a black and blue heavy jacket, dark pants, a black face mask and dark tennis shoes. Photos of the suspect are above this article.
