Robbers in Halloween masks hit Little Canada bank

Two men in Halloween masks robbed a Little Canada bank Thursday morning, according to authorities.

The men entered the U.S. Bank at 2850 Rice St. around 7 a.m, the FBI said. They forced two employees to unlock the vault, telling them, "Don't be a hero; it's not your money."

The suspects allegedly stole an undisclosed amount of cash and fled on foot, the FBI said.

Witnesses described one robber as a black male about 6 feet tall with a muscular build, wearing black pants and gloves, a black sweatshirt and a red mask. The other was described as a black man, about 5'9", with a medium build, wore black pants, a black sweatshirt, black and white gloves and a white skeleton mask.

The FBI is asking anyone with information to call its Minneapolis office at 763-569-8000 or the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office. U.S. Bank is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the alleged robbers' arrest and conviction.
