St. Petersburg police are looking for two men they say robbed a Bank of America this morning.

A man walked into the bank at 6201 Central Ave. about 9:30 a.m. He gave the teller a note and implied he had a handgun, police say. After the man got an undisclosed amount of cash, he got into an older model GM minivan parked in the lot.
