INDIANAPOLIS -- A 62-year-old man was stuffed in the trunk of a vehicle during a robbery outside of a bank Friday afternoon, and the FBI is now investigating.
The robbery happened just before 3:30 p.m. outside of the Fifth Third Bank at 38th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue on the city’s near north side.
The victim was near the opened trunk of his Toyota Yaris in the bank’s parking lot when two suspects came up to him with a gun, pushed him inside the trunk, stole his bag and locked him inside the trunk, according to reports obtained by Call 6 Investigates.
