    Investigators declined to say how much was taken from the PNC Bank, but FBI spokeswoman Jerri Williams said it was much more than the $250,000 taken in a large heist two years ago.

    Two armed men in dark-colored hooded sweat shirts and ski masks rushed an employee outside the bank as she was arriving for work just after 8 a.m., authorities said. The teller opened the door for other bank employees as they arrived, as normal, and the workers were held hostage while the robbers cleaned out the vault, teller drawers and ATM machines, the FBI said. During the robbery, the men used handheld radios to apparently communicate with others outside the bank, Williams said.
    “This was not a robbery that was based on a desperate need for cash. This was a deliberate, planned robbery.”

    The robbers locked the employees in the vault before fleeing. The employees escaped by unlocking the vault from the inside.

    All of you who are in agreement with putting his name on this blog are like OSAMA BIN LADIN as far as reasoning with a terrorist you have the saichel of a Pera Adom . I hope you don’t slip up on your section 8 , food stamps, medicaid, and get caught with a ZOINA, and then your name and picture will be posted in all the newspapers. MIDA KANEGED MIDA.
    I think you forgot there is an Abeshter that sees and knows it all. I just want to wish you a Refuah Shalaima, and one day you will do a teshuva shalaima.

    To 521 & Phil from 414
    I am not any part of the family. I dont even know who he is . I have read all the blogs on this matter. If you have somthing to say about PNC bank say it. Dont bring any names into your post. It falls under one of two catagories Loshen Horah, or Motzi Shem Rah , take your pick. A joke at someone elses expense is not the way your parents or Rebba brought you up .

    To 4:14 this is 3:52 I Just think it demonstrates that this is a bank that appears sloppy in the way it cares for money. Is there anything wrong with that. And the Dweck thing is not an old wound it is a massive Chillul Hashem.

    That’s why PNC isn’t the only other bank out there. In fact, Their interest rates weren’t any good in the first place.

    There goes good interest rates at PNC Bank.

    Pull out your $$$ before it is too late. Or before they run out of available cash.
