FORT SMITH -- Police were looking for three men who used a shotgun to rob a First National Bank branch in north Fort Smith on Friday afternoon.
Police spokesman Sgt. Daniel Grubbs said three masked men walked into the bank branch at 2000 Midland Blvd. at 3:55 p.m., when there were several tellers and customers present.
At least one robber had a shotgun and pointed it at at least one of the tellers, surveillance photos released by the Police Department showed. Grubbs said no one was hurt.
Another photo showed a teller handing over what appeared to be a cloth bank bag to one of the robbers. The three left on foot and headed north, Grubbs said.
Grubbs said 30 minutes after the robbery that no suspects had been identified. Police were canvassing the neighborhood around the bank and interviewing bank employees and customers, he said.
