Bank Robber Points Gun at Two-Year-Old During Pa. Heist

A robber grabbed a two-year-old boy and pointed a semi-auto handgun at him during a South Whitehall, Pa., holdup on Saturday.

The boy and his father were leaving the Allentown area PNC Bank branch when the robber entered. He grabbed the boy and told the father to walk back into the bank.

Photos taken by the bank’s surveillance cameras clearly show the robber pointing his pistol in the direction of the boy. However, he made no verbal threats to shoot the boy or his father.

The robber wore a ski mask, gloves, and a hooded sweatshirt. He netted several thousand dollars, according to police.
