Police said the robbery occurred around 11 a.m., when a man dressed in black clothing and a ski mask came into the bank.
The man then produced the guns and demanded money.
There were only two employees inside the bank and no customers at the time, police said.
The employees gave an undisclosed amount of cash to the robber, who then left. Police weren’t sure how long the robbery took.
Reviews of surveillance video showed the robber had help from a woman in a maroon minivan. The pair fled east from the bank.
The bank is in an area where few of the neighboring businesses were open on the weekend, which made it hard to find out more information about the suspect’s direction of travel, police said.
A release from the Federal Bureau of Investigation said the suspect is a thin man in his 20s or 30s, with a tattoo on his left wrist.
The woman is said to be a white female driving a late-model Chrysler minivan.
Great Southern is offering a $5,500 reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.
Anyone with information can call the Springfield Police Department at 864-1810 or the FBI office in Springfield at 882-3303 or 816-512-8200.
