ESSEX, Mo. (AP) - A teller at a southeast Missouri bank is recovering from minor injuries suffered during a bank robbery.

The Dexter Daily Statesman (https://bit.ly/1lKDFjx ) reports that the robbery happened Monday in Essex. Stoddard County Sheriff Carl Hefner says two suspects entered the bank and demanded money. The branch manager and a teller were in the bank at the time. The teller was taken to a hospital for what was described as a minor injury.

It wasn’t immediately clear how the teller was injured. The manager was also taken to the hospital for evaluation.



Police hope surveillance footage will help lead them to the suspects.
