KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The FBI is joining Knoxville Police and the Knox County Sheriff's Office in searching for two men they say robbed a First Tennessee Bank on Western Avenue Friday evening.
Police say the men entered the bank around 5:00 p.m. and verbally demanded money.
Witnesses described the first suspect as a white man between 35 and 40 years old, about 6' tall and weighing about 200 lbs. He was wearing blue jeans, a dark-colored, long-sleeved, button-up shirt over a dark-colored t-shirt, a khaki fishing hat and a dust filter mask.
The second suspect was also a white man about 6' tall and weighing about 250 lbs. He was wearing blue jeans, a long-sleeved, gray button-down shirt, a dark-colored fishing hat and a dust filter mask.
The robbers obtained an undetermined amount of money and left in what may be a white Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck.
Investigators believe, based on descriptions and surveillance photos, that at least one of the men may be involved in other bank robberies.
If you have any information that can help track down the suspects, call the FBI at (865) 544-0751 or Knoxville Police at (865) 215-7212.
