Two armed men robbed a Kansas City bank Friday morning.

The robbery was reported just before 9:15 a.m. Friday at the Bank Midwest branch at 79th Street and Ward Parkway.

Police said the robbers both wore masks and left the scene in a silver Ford pickup truck.

There were no reports of any injuries.

Both robbers were described as light-complected black males. One was 6 feet tall and 185 pounds. He wore a black and gray knit sweater, a black knit mask and gray gloves.

The other robber was several inches shorter and weighs about 160 pounds. He had a mustache and wore all black clothing and a black knit mask and gray gloves.

The bank also was robbed in April.
