The robbery took place in Springfield around 9:15 a.m., Saturday, April 9 at the bank located on the 500 block of Sumner Avenue.
A teller told officers one of the suspects handed over a note demanding money and implying that he had a gun, said Ryan Walsh, spokesman for the Springfield Police.
The suspect, later identified as Edward Rosso, age 22, of Springfield, got away with an undisclosed amount of cash, Walsh said.
