Clown and monkey rob bank

BAKER, W.Va. — West Virginia State Police are searching for the armed suspects who robbed a bank in Hardy County dressed as a clown and a monkey.

Troopers said a woman wearing a black hoodie and a brown monkey mask and grey sweat pants entered Capon Valley Bank in Baker at just before 11 a.m. Wednesday. She was with a man wearing a clown mask with orange hair and a large clown suit.

The woman had a gun and demanded money. The pair took off in a blue vehicle heading east on Route 55 toward Route 48. The car was found a few minutes later on fire along Sauerkraut Road. The car was stolen from Mallory Ford in Winchester, Virginia.

The investigation continues.
