Police in Kosciusko County are looking for two men who robbed the Lake City Bank branch in Silver Lake on Wednesday morning.

A robber got out and went into the bank shortly after 9:45 a.m., covering his face with a white bandanna, according to video from an outside security video camera.

The man raised a black semiautomatic handgun in his left hand and pointed it at tellers.

Information from witnesses and bank video indicate the robber, wearing a white ball cap with some type of insignia, might possibly be bald, the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department said. He was wearing a bluish-grey, long-sleeved buttoned shirt.

He was thin, white and 5-foot-9 to 6 feet tall. He is possibly in his mid-20s to mid-30s, and was wearing blue jeans and dark shoes.

An undisclosed amount of money was taken.

Warsaw, Mentone, Claypool and Indiana State Police officers assisted Silver Lake police and the sheriff's department.
