http://www.privateofficer.com/ Police reported that two armed men robbed a Webster Bank branch and attacked a security officer Saturday, and police said they were questioning two suspects Saturday night.

The hold-up happened shortly before 9 a.m. at a Webster Bank branch at 275 Cottage Grove Road, according to a press release by Lt. Matt Willauer.

The gun-wielding robbers came into the bank, attacked the guard, stole his gun and left with an undisclosed amount of money, it states.

They sped away in a car to East Hartford, police said, where one suspect got out and started driving away in another car.

One car was immediately stopped by East Hartford police who quickly responded to the area while the other was stopped after a chase, Bloomfield police said.

The police are not releasing the suspects names right now but say that they will be filing charges against them.
The security officer was transported and treated for minor injuries at an area hospital and was discharged. His name was not released by police either.
