From HoCo PD:

The Howard County Police Department and the FBI are investigating two recent bank robberies involving two armed suspects. Investigators are offering a combined reward of up to $12,500 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the men involved.

On March 6, two men wearing fake beards and hats walked into the Provident Bank in the 10400 block of Little Patuxent Parkway in Columbia and announced a robbery. The suspects, both armed with guns, forced the employees to give them an undisclosed amount of cash, and then fled. There were four employees at the bank at the time and no one was injured.

In an earlier case, two suspects, one of them the same as in the March 6 case, the other possibly the same, entered the Howard Bank in the 6000 block of University Blvd. in Ellicott City Jan. 2. The armed suspects announced a robbery, forced the employees to give them an undisclosed amount of cash, and then fled. There were three employees at the bank at the time and no one was injured.

Investigators are releasing photos of the suspects and asking anyone with information to call police at 410-313-3200. Callers may remain anonymous.
