Date published: 5/8/2008

Authorities are investigating a robbery at PNC Bank in the Southpoint Shopping Center in Massaponax this morning. It was reported at 10:49 a.m.

Police describe the suspects as two black men. They did not display a weapon and they do not believe a note was used.

At midday, a search dog was helping officers try to locate the suspects, who were last seen fleeing on foot.

They escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash, some of which the suspects dropped while they were running. Police recovered the dropped bundles.

why is it that every time a crime is committed by a black person it has to become an issue of the little rights that blacks have.

when a person/s can walk into a bank and just say give me some money and they just fill a bag up for them. AT $120. for a barrel of oil I think I'll go to the Exxon station and just say gas and see if I can get away with some of that $4.00 regular. It just might work.

Can someone please explain to me how this robbery has anything to do with four cops that got away with murder? Exactly, there is no correlation. And hoodies, I believe people wear them when its raining? Its kinda an ignorant statement to say that affirmative actions applies to prisons or how people are convicted.

When I worked at a jewelry store, we were instructed in case of a robbery, to hand over anything that the robber wanted and to be cooperative for our own safety. We were even told that if we were resistent to the robbers, that we would be fired. It was a means to keep us safe since no life is worth a ring.

They say "Give us all your money and noone gets hurt" Tellers are trained to not agitate threatening customers.
