But in the case of the three men who robbed a Bank of the West in Northglenn on Monday, the feds aren't waiting, due in part to their violent technique: They wielded at least one weapon while snatching and grabbing "takeover-style."
How about calling them the Takeover Bandits? Check out more photos and the FBI release below:
