Four Armed Men Rob Pr. George's Bank, Police Say

Four men robbed a bank in Prince George's County at gunpoint this morning, fleeing as a bank security guard fired at them, police said.

The men, two of whom carried assault rifles, entered a Bank of America branch in the 300 block of Montrose Avenue in Laurel about 10:30 a.m., police said. They fled with an undisclosed amount of money.

There was no indication that any of the assailants was struck by the guard's gunfire, police said. No one else was injured.

Witnesses reported seeing the bank robbers leave in a Jeep and later switch to a dark-colored Toyota or Cadillac SUV. It was unclear whether the vehicle was stolen. Police said witnesses were able to record part of the SUV license plate: 0732M.

Some of the assailants were masked during the robbery, police said.

On Nov. 20, three men robbed a Bank of America branch in Howard County and led police on a chase through parts of Anne Arundel, Prince George's and Montgomery counties. One of the suspects was shot and killed by police.
