Police: Armed Robbers Use Pepper Spray To Hold Up Bank

Tuesday, July 29, 2008 – updated: 1:49 pm EDT July 29, 2008

State police are looking for two suspects they said held up the Mifflinburg Bank and Trust bank in Millheim around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Troopers said the pair walked into the bank shortly after it opened, threatened the tellers with pepper spray and tied them up with zip ties. They then rummaged through the drawers, taking an undisclosed amount of cash.

They were both clean shaven, and wore blue jeans, white T-shirts, sunglasses, bright green construction vests and yellow hard hats.

They drove away in a newer model, silver Ford F-150 extended cab truck. They were last seen driving west on route 45 toward State College.
