HCSO: Suspects on the run after attempted armored truck robbery at N Harris Co bank

Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said gunfire was exchanged between the armored truck operators and the suspects, but no one was hit.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — Deputies are looking for several suspects who they said attempted to rob an armored truck Wednesday at a bank in north Harris County.

This happened around 1:32 p.m. at a Comerica Bank in the 800 block of W. FM 1960 near Red Oak Drive

The FBI's Violent Crime Task Force is involved in this investigation and said a Brinks armored car guard was servicing the ATM at the bank when three armed suspects drove up in a black Mercedes and shot at him.

The guard returned fire at the suspects who got away, the FBI said.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said no one was hit or injured in the incident. 

Air 11 flew over the scene and saw dozens of evidence markers around the bank and the suspects' vehicle appeared to be shot at multiple times. 

The FBI has released descriptions of two of the suspects involved. Both are Black men with thin builds in their mid to late 20s. They were wearing dark colored clothing and last seen running away from the scene. There is no description of the third suspect at this time.

Multiple agencies are now investigating the attempted robbery, including the FBI VCTF, the Houston Police Department, the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the FBI Houston Field Office.

If you have any information on the incident, you can submit a tip through the FBI's website.
