“Two black men wearing all black entered the bank with handguns,” said a local news report. “Both men approached the teller counter and demanded money. The suspects ran in an unknown direction with an undisclosed amount of money.”

Both suspects were said to be between 5-foot-8 and 5-foot-10 with long hair or wigs. One had braids and beads, a trademark of James.

The next day, cops believe the same duo was at it again, hitting the Indiana Members Credit Union. They are asking the public’s help in rounding up the crooks.
