The FBI and Sylvania Township police are looking for a gang of five armed men who robbed the KeyBank branch Wednesday at 5756 West Central Ave.

The gang, armed with long guns, entered the bank at 10:50 a.m. and demanded money from tellers. They fired several shots but injured no one, and escaped in a dark minivan that turned out to be stolen.

All of the gunmen wore masks and gloves. They were 5 feet, 6 inches to 5 feet, 8 inches tall, of medium build, and wearing hooded jackets, blue jeans, or sweat pants.

Authorities would not release additional details.
