The FBI is searching for two armed robbers who threatened lives at a Vectra Bank in Westminster Thursday morning.

Video shows the gunmen jumping over the counter at the bank near Federal Boulevard and West 72nd Avenue.

"The gunmen were violent and threatened the lives of the tellers during the robbery," the FBI stated.

The FBI described the first suspect as being 5-feet-7-inches to 5-feet-8-inches tall. He was wearing a dark jacket, a gray sweatshirt, gloves, athletic shoes with red details and a red bandana covering his face. He was carrying a multi-colored Adidas courier bag.

The FBI described the second man as being 5-feet-9-inches to 5-feet-10-inches tall. He was wearing a black sweatshirt, gloves, white sunglasses with colored lenses and a black face covering. He was carrying a black bag similar to a computer case.
