http://www.privateofficer.com/ A Washington Mutual bank teller and a security officer were taken to a hospital after they were assaulted during a takeover style robbery Friday afternoon.
The robbery was reported at 4:06 p.m. at the bank at 4390 Clayton Road, Concord police Sgt. Matt Morrissey said.
Police said two men, at least one of them armed with a handgun, walked into the bank and attacked the security guard.
“He was sitting by the front door and they wacked him, pistol-whipped him, right across the head,” Morrissey said.
They ordered everyone down to the ground and then jumped over the counter and struck a female teller in the head.
“We’re assuming they did this intentionally,” he said.
The robbers grabbed cash and then ran outside the bank and down Bel Air Drive, where they split up. Witnesses along the street told police they saw one of the suspects running down the street with a smoking backpack, “consistent with dye pack,” he said.
Other witnesses said that they got into two separate cars, a black Nissan and a gold Toyota Camry.
According to the police report, both robbers were in their late teens or early 20s. The first robber was about 5 feet 10 inches, black, thin, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and jeans. The second was about 5 feet 11 inches, black, thin, with a goatee and short-cropped hair. He also wore a dark hooded sweatshirt and dark jeans.
The teller was taken to John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek. The security officer was taken to John Muir Hospital in Concord. Their names and conditions were not made available.
