2 Men Sought After Shots Fired During Attempted Bank Robbery: Miami Police

Police are searching for two men after shots were fired during an attempted bank robbery in Miami Friday.

According to Miami Police, the men tried to rob the Regions Bank at 2800 Northwest 7th Street just after 5:50 p.m., minutes before the bank was closing for the day.

Police said one suspect walked into the lobby area as the other suspect began firing in the air outside as he shouted and said he was going to rob the bank.

Employees and customers took cover as one employee managed to close the door and keep the robbers out. No one was injured and the pair fled the scene in a red 4-door Nissan Altima.

The suspects are described as white, possibly Hispanic men in their early 20s. Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
