Bank robber threatened to shoot teller

HOUSTON At about noon, the first subject entered the bank and waited in the teller line. When asked if he needed help, he walked up to the teller counter and handed the teller a note in which he demanded money and threatened to shoot the teller. The subject also verbally stated that he had a gun.

During the robbery, he kept one hand in his jacket pocket as if he were concealing a weapon, but no weapon was observed by the teller. Fearing for her life, the teller handed the subject some money. He fled the bank and was seen leaving the area with his getaway driver in an older model, 2-door, black extended cab pick-up truck. The truck did not have tinted windows.

No one was physically hurt during the robbery. The bank's surveillance cameras did capture some good photographs of the first subject.

The first subject is described as a Hispanic male, 28-30 years old, approximately 5'9"- 5'10", 190-200 pounds, with an average build and a light brown complexion. He had black hair, a black goatee and a mustache. He wore a black, white and green jacket with a logo on the left front side, jeans, and a black or blue cap with a log on the front.

The second subject is described as a Hispanic male who was about 30-35 years old. He was clean shaven and had a heavier build than the first subject. The second subject was seen driving the older model, 2-door, black extended cab pick-up truck.
