Police are investigating an apparent armored vehicle robbery at a bank where at least two males, who wore camouflage clothing and ski masks, were seen traveling away in a silver sport utility vehicle down Bellaire Boulevard westbound toward the 610 Loop.

West University Place Police Department officers arrived to the Bank of America branch on Stella Link Road near Bellaire Boulevard at around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in response to a reported robbery in progress.
