Two gunmen robbed the BB&T Bank on Chalkville Mountain Road in the Grayson Valley area today, according to authorities.
The robbery happened sometime before 1 p.m. today, said FBI Public Affairs Specialist Paul Daymond.
Daymond described the suspects as two black men wearing hoodies and blue jeans.
A weapon, possibly a pistol, was seen on video surveillance cameras, Daymond said.
Jefferson County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Randy Christian said the black males were armed with guns and attempted to rob the bank. He said bullet-proof glass and a locked door prevented them from accessing the teller area.
“They left with no money,” Christian said. “The pair fled in a brown Ford pickup. No one was injured.”
The suspects fled in an unknown direction.
We will update this story as more information becomes available.
