Witnesses describe chaotic scene of Point Place KeyBank robbery

Witnesses say the normally quiet Point Place neighborhood turned chaotic on Friday when a robbery happened at the KeyBank on Suder Avenue.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Witnesses say a normally quiet Point Place neighborhood turned chaotic Friday when a robbery happened at the KeyBank branch in Shoreland.

“I look across the street and I see some guy with a gun, a cop with a gun, run across here and I’m like ‘what the heck is going on,'” said Lisa Bodnar, who lives directly across from the bank on Suder Avenue.

Bodnar said she was outside when officers first arrived.

“I’ve never seen that many cops pull into one place in five minutes and I thought ‘what the heck is going on,'” she said.

But she said her time outside was short.

“The cop lady came over here and said you guys go in the house, go in the house, and so she told everybody in this apartment to go in the house,” Bodnar recalled.

Kathi Brown says she was visiting family nearby when she saw the police response.

“There were police coming from lights and sirens coming from the Manhattan area, three of them came off the expressway, so I knew it was something pretty bad,” Brown said.

Brown said her aunt lives near the bank and it isn’t usually busy.

Bodnar, who has lived in the neighborhood for five years, said she hopes the robbery is a one-time event.

“I don’t want anything like this to happen again, especially not at night,” she said.

Toledo resident Tina Gilmore said her mother was at the bank before it wa closed off. 

“She was in the drive-thru and the cops pulled her out and said they are being robbed and my sister called me and said ‘mom’s at the bank and the bank’s being robbed,’ and I’m like ‘what, I’m at work, I gotta go.'”

Toledo police and the FBI are investigating the incident.
