Masked Gunmen Rob TD Bank in Killingworth

State police continue to investigate Monday afternoon heist along Route 81.

Update (6:30 p.m.)

Two men armed with guns and wearing masks robbed a TD Bank branch in Killingworth Monday afternoon.

Killingworth State Trooper Sgt. Sal Calvo said the individuals went into the bank, located at 184 Route 81 in Killingworth, around 3:30 p.m. Following the armed robbery the suspects took off in a white Scion, which Calvo said was dumped a short distance away from the scene.

Multiple state troopers and detectives are still at the bank and they continue to investigate. Calvo said further updates should be available later.

Several people identified as bank tellers and victims were seen outside the bank around 6 p.m. Monday. Multiple state trooper vehicles also blocked off access and yellow tape was strung around the bank perimeter.

It's unclear whether anyone was hurt, however there have been no reports of injuries.

NBC Connecticut reported earlier Monday that the gunmen tied up customers and employees during the robbery.

The Middletown Press has identified the suspects as being in their 20s and around 5 feet, 7 inches tall.

The State of Connecticut has billions in unfunded pension obligations thanks to the money managementRead More ablities of our state treasurers over the years. Only an AFSCME union boss would trust them.

Resident- Let me get this straight you believe that - BOE did not approve this..... no one saw theRead More report card before it went out ? and I am not sure who has since ? Sad! Well it clearly demonstrates the lack of competence and how well the BOE is informed the in the area of our children's education.

Dear save our schools : I have not heard that rumor.... I think where that may have started wasRead More with some people looking at the old middle school and thinking about using it for a vo-ag school, but not at all connected with our school system. I have not heard anything for a while on that whole subject. I have not heard about accreditation issues either... I know about 12 years ago or maybe longer there were issues. My kids are not in the HS. Normally I support our BOE. And it should be noted that the BOE did not approve this... I would tend to bet that if you polled every board member - no one saw this report card system before it went out, and I am not sure who has seen it since. With kids in the middle school now I am keeping an ear open about the HS.

Dear EH Resident, Thank you for a well written and very informative communication. I am a parent ofRead More a recent Hale Ray graduate and have a student currently in the school system. My children are five years apart and it is down right scary to realize how much our school systems quality and rigor has been degraded in recent years. These changes are the direct result of the ill guided Board of Education. Recently I have heard that our high school will soon be becoming a vocational school and will not be accredited . This maybe a rumor but the current path we are on certainly supports the rumor. The loss of accreditation will mean that the diploma our children earn upon graduation will not be accepted by higher education institutions. The mantra of doing less with more is destroying our community. Our children are being robbed of a successful future because of their penny wise pound poor management. We must demand change and accountability from our Board of Education!
