Wednesday afternoon at approximately 1:55 p.m., "Point Blank Bandit" entered the Heights bank and walked directly to the teller counter. He announced that he was committing a robbery and demanded money. All employees were told that they would be shot if anyone called the police. "Point Blank Bandit" approached a teller, threw a black cloth bag to her, and demanded cash. He then approached a second teller and placed his black semi-automatic pistol directly against her head while demanding more money. He then grabbed the black bag and fled the bank on foot.
