LEROY -- Investigators are following up on several tips after an armed bank robbery in Osceola County.

The two men walked into the Citizens Bank in Leroy Wednesday afternoon. One man was carrying a long gun, the other had a knife.  The men approached the tellers in hooded sweatshirts and masks and demanded money.

They then stole an employee's car and drove away.  The car was found about two miles away from the bank.

Police are hoping someone may have seen the maroon vehicle when it left the bank, and possibly are able to identify the suspects. The men are considered armed and dangerous.

Bank surveillance video was handed over to the FBI and Michigan State Police.
