(Stafford)- The Stafford Sheriff’s Office is investigating a Monday morning bank robbery at Union 1st Market Bank located at 1044 Warrenton Rd in Stafford.
Bank employees reported that two suspects entered the bank, walked up to the teller windows and demanded cash. Both suspects displayed a firearm during the robbery. The suspects fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The suspects fled the scene in a small two door vehicle which was later located approximately 2 miles away from the bank.
