Two people robbed a bank at gunpoint Monday, according to Clinton County law enforcement officials.

The suspects entered Santander Bank at 364 Erie Ave. at 2:14 p.m., according to state police at Lamar.

The first suspect, a 5-foot-6-inch man, was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt with an unknown color hat. The hooded sweatshirt had blue or purple stripes running under the armpit. He also wore red gloves and blue sneakers. The second suspect was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with lime green pin stripes on the hood, gray sweatpants or jeans and stood about 6 feet, 1 inch tall.

The first suspect approached the counter with a gun, demanded money and two tellers put $3,618 “in small denominations” on the counter, according to state police. The first suspect collected the money while the second suspect acted as a lookout at the entrance of the bank.

No one was injured in the robbery.

Anyone with possible information about the robbery should contact state police at Lamar at 570-726-6000 or Renovo police at 570-923-2268. Police said tips may be given anonymously.

The investigation is being led by state police, Renovo police said.

It is the second time since 2015 the bank has been robbed at gunpoint, according to the Lock Haven Express. Joshua Winkleman, 25, was sentenced to up to 10 years in prison for robbing the bank on Oct. 29, 2015 and getting away with more than $1,300.
