CEREDO, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Police are looking for the suspects involved in a bank robbery in Ceredo Thursday morning.

The robbery happened at BB&T Branch bank on Route 60 around 9:40 a.m.

The Ceredo Police Chief tells WSAZ.com that the suspect was wearing Khaki color pants, a dark button-up jacket over a lighter colored hoodie type top.

The Chief also says he was wearing dark colored gloves, and what appears to be a bill of a cap sticking out from the hood.

The suspect brandished a dark colored pistol, and very assertively demanded money from the tellers.

Chief Jack Butcher says the suspect fled on foot west down the alley behind the bank.

According to witnesses, the man ran across 6th street west and got into a mid 90s model Ford Crown Victoria where another male subject was waiting.

The vehicle is then believed to have crossed US 60 and headed south on 6th Street west.

There were no customers inside the bank at the time of the robbery, and none of the bank employees were harmed during the robbery.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911.

He looks uncannily like a Tusken Raider from Star Wars. Are they sure it was a Crown Vic and not a Bantha?

So you don't push the alarm button while the robber is in the bank to avoid a hostage situation but you push it once he leaves. Then why invest in such a security system in the first place?? Just use the phone and call 911. The police have already missed the robber anyway so who cares if it takes an extra 30 seconds.

Ceredo and Kenova police are a complete joke.Their are tons of drugs dealers that live within a mile of the police departments and still the police do not try to stop them.
