Police are searching for two men after a Royal Bank in Kitchener was robbed at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon.

At 4:50 p.m., two men entered the bank on Fischer Hallman Road. One of the men had a gun, police said, and the suspects demanded cash.

An undisclosed amount of cash was taken from a customer, but not the bank.

No one was injured, police said.

The two men then fled the area in what was described as possibly a dark grey Honda car.
