 EAST PIKELAND — Police are searching for three men who robbed the Wells Fargo Bank Tuesday morning.
Police said the mask-wearing men entered the bank at 200 Schuylkill Road around 11 a.m., each armed with a handgun.
The men, according to police, ordered employees and customers to get on the ground before jumping the counter and taking money from the teller windows.
Police did not say how much money was taken.
No one in the bank was injured, police said.
Despite the marked police cars in front of the bank, more than 10 customers tried to enter through the locked front doors.
One man even banged his fists against the glass trying to get the investigators attention.
Police said the Chester County Detectives and surrounding police departments responded to the scene.
The bank remained closed on Tuesday and police said it will likely reopen for regular business on Wednesday.
