TAMPA (FOX 13) -
Hillsborough detectives are searching for three men who stormed into a bank, robbed it and fled in a stolen car.
Surveillance video shows the three suspects running into the PNC bank at 12951 N. Dale Mabry Highway in masks and waving guns.
The surveillance video is taken from multiple angles, and shows two men jumping the counter while one stays in the lobby and orders customers to the floor.
In a matter of minutes, the three men race out of the bank into their getaway car: a silver, four-door, 2002 Dodge Intrepid. Detectives found the car in the back of the Countrywood Apartments at 12101 N. Dale Mabry Highway, and discovered it had been stolen.
Tampa Police hope surveillance video helps them catch a man who ran out of a jewelry store with an engagement ring.
It happened at Helzberg Jewelers in Westshore Mall on Monday. Investigators say the man walked into the store and started browsing the display cases. He told the clerk that he was about to "pop the question", and was interesting in buying a diamond ring.
The clerk showed him two rings. Police say while she was showing him the second ring, he snatched it off the display stick and ran out of the store.
Surveillance cameras caught him getting into the passenger door of a Volkswagen Jetta that was waiting in the parking lot.
Anyone with information about this crime is urged to call Crimestoppers at 800-873-TIPS (8477).
Callers will remain anonymous and are eligible to receive a cash reward.
