Fayetteville Police are searching for two black men who robbed the Bank of America at Ga. Highway 314 and New Hope Road near the Pavilion shopping center early this [Saturday] afternoon.

Investigators are also hoping that customers who reportedly picked up some of the money in the parking lot will contact police.

Both suspects had handguns and wore black "hoodie" sweatshirts and masks, police said. One of the suspects was described "heavyset" at approximately 200 pounds while the other suspect was smaller, police said.

The two men displayed hand guns and ordered everyone to get on the ground. After robbing the bank the two men fled the area on foot, according to Fayetteville Police spokesperson Steve Crawshaw.

The suspects fled the bank on foot with two bags containing an undisclosed amount of money, police said. Police employed tracker dogs to try to pick up the robbers' trail.

One of those bags of cash was dropped about a block away near the intersection of Burnside Drive, leaving some money scattered on the ground. That's about a block up New Hope Road from the bank and is an entrance into a new residential subdivision.

Crawshaw said some of the money was recovered in the parking lot by police, with surveillance video showing that money was also picked up by customers in the parking lot.

Police are reviewing video to identify the robbers, witnesses and customers that recovered money, Crawshaw said.

Anyone that has any information or that recovered any of the money is asked to contact the Fayetteville Police Department at 770-461-4441.

The very same branch was robbed Aug. 15 but police several weeks later made an arrest in that case.
