OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. — Osceola County deputies said bank employees were robbed on their way into work in Championsgate Wednesday morning by two armed masked men who fled the scene in a stolen car.

"These two-armed men approached staff and employees as they were opening the bank this morning," Jacob Ruiz with the Osceola County Sheriff's Office said.

Bank employees told investigators the men approached them around 8:30 a.m. trying to gain access to the PNC Bank location on ChampionsGate Boulevard. When the audible alarm at the bank sounded, deputies said the men fled, having stolen only personal property from the employees.
