The men are considered armed and dangerous. If you see them, or have any information about this robbery, call the Centralia Police Department at 618-533-7602.

The same bank location was robbed in December 2015. The suspects, who in that incident indicated they were armed, were never captured. They were described as two black males both wearing bandannas over their faces.

While searching for those two suspects, police reportedly located a small amount of cash on the ground near St. Mary Catholic School.

Police were notified of the 2015 armed robbery by a passerby notified 9-1-1 that he saw a black male was standing inside the bank with something over his face.
