. >>. >> it's the day before halloween, october 30th, 2012,

in the small town of maynard, iowa. population 513. it's business as usual at the 118-year-old maynard savings bank. inside the bank are five employees. two managers and their offices, one teller at the front counter, two tellers at their desks. there was also one customer and his young son standing next to him. assistant cashier cheryl melchar grandmother of five who worked at the bank 26 years is helping the customers at the counter. she is the first to see a green sedan arrive outside. >> i looked out the window. i saw the corner of my eye. i saw this green car pull up. i said to the customer, look at these guys and the customer turned and looked at him and the next words that were out of my mouth were i hope it's not.

>> the men shout profanities at the employees and customer. they carry what appear to be ak-47 assault rifles. their faces are covered with bizarre masks. they purchased them at a costume store about two dozen miles away. >> it was kind of like a grim reaper face with then like a jester hat with like a bell. it all happened so fast. it didn't seem real when they first came in the door. >> the maynard bank was built if 1885. it currently serves 2,400 customers. in all the time it's been if existence, it's never been robbed until now. the bank has several security systems, motion detectors and alarms. but those are always activated

after the bank closes. the only daytime security is two panic buttons located under the counter where the cashiers work. those buttons go wage to the fayette county sheriff. in the dozens of years since they have been installed the buttons have never been used to alert police. assistant vice president of the bank, glenda campbell, who has worked there for 12 years is in her office, first door on the right. the robbers pass by her, not realizing she's inside. >> i thought it was maybe a really dumb halloween prank and i sat there quietly until i realized what was taking place. i don't think they saw me in there, knew i was in there. >> the bank manager's office is the next door on the right. lanceing has worked at the bank

for 26 years. 13 days earlier, lanceing celebrated the birth of his first grandchild. >> i was on the phone with our office manager. he entered my office and told me to hang up the phone. she heard weidman that's not something you typically hear on the other end of the lean. you have an ak-47, you tend to do what people with weaponry ask you. >> what i first noticed was cj coming out of his office with one besides him. so i quietly came to the doorway so if they did look and saw me there, they wouldn't be startled. >> a cashier, a six year employee and grandmother of two is at her desk behind the counter. she doesn't move. >> for that split second you weren't sure it was really happening, but then you knew it was no joke, no prank and you were almost frozen, you don't want to put anybody in jeopardy.

they might have gotten upset and started shooting. it's just money. it's something that can be replaced. lives can't be. >> one of the robbers orders teller cheryl melchar to take all the.from her cash drawer and load it into a dufflebag. she struggles to get the bag opened. seeing that melchar is having problems with the zipper, one of the robbers makes a move towards her, just as she gets the bag to finally open. tellers are trained to move slowly, not to alert robbers or make them feel threatened. melchar carefully puts the money from her drawer into the bag. she then moves to another drawer and removes the cash from there as well. the robbers ask employees if there is money at the drive-up window. manager c.j. lanceing tells them yes and leave leads the thieves to those gun dwaurs, a gun at

his back. >> i didn't want to upset them or fool them by saying no and they determine there wasn't bank cash there and that could have made the situation worse. >> for the rest of the terrified employees, time stands still. >> we have a radio, it sets right behind me on a little table and the day of the robbery when they were behind the counter, i couldn't tell you if that radio was on or off. it was almost like i couldn't hear. >> it was kind of like looking through a fishbowl or something is what it felt like. >> the taller one walked in both vaults. i think their masks were so big and so hard to see through that he probably didn't really check much out because we did have extra currency in there that they didn't see. >> i had my eyes mostly on the shorter one it was a getting the money from cheryl t. taller one was kind of lingering in the doorway of the vault. i'd look over there once in a while. it was like i didn't want to make icon tact with him.

>> you are trying to get as much information you can, descriptive. you are trying to stand as much as you can and then try to remember it. >> i thought they were toy guns. i thought they were plastic. i am by no means a gun expert. i thought they were a tool to maybe intimidate but never thought they were real. >> coming up, bank employees have one chance to stop the robbery in progress. get to the security buttons without the thieves noticing. >> they would have seen me reach under there to trigger weidman you don't know what they would have done.

. >> two days before the heist at the maynard savings bank, some residents in this small town of 500 reported a strange man lurking outside the bank it was

a sunday, so the bank was closed. the man peered in the windows and the front door. he walked around the bank and then he was gone. now, two days later, a maynard community savings bank in rural high what is the scene of a robbery in progress two men wearing what appear to be halloween masks have employees at gunpoint. some tellers are not sure if the ak-47s these men carry are real. most of them believe the guns are toys. though the weapons look sinister, neither man has pulled the trigger. the ak-47 was originally developed by the soviet union in 1947 as a lethal assault weapon. in its automatic mode, it can fire 600 rounds per minute, more than 400 yards. there are 100 million in existence. one of the robbers was able to

easily purchase two of them, even in rural iowa. as the robbers moved through the 2,400 square bank threatening the employees, the cashiers know there are panic buttons beneath their registers. pushing those buttons would alert the fayette county sheriff. but if they're caught going through the alarms, it could mean disaster. a fatal mistake if the robbers start firing. >> the only one that could have would have been cheryl but she wasn't in the first window that she went to. she said, there isn't one in there. she really didn't have a chance. >> you don't want to put anybody in jeopardy. if they would have seen me reach under there to trigger that, you don't know what they would have done. >> most modern banks have silent alarms that are triggered when all the money is emptied from the cash drawer. a signal to police that something is wrong. >> that system does not exist at

the 118-year-old bank. but one thing the bank always does in case of robbery is to have bills with recorded serial numbers in the bottom of each drawer. >> i just started putting the money in the bag. i made sure i put the fake money in there. we keep a copy of the actual bill with all the serial numbers on it and that's a way to identify our money. >> after the initial shouting when they walked in the door demanding money the men now calmly call for employees. >> they were cordial to us. they didn't make us lie on the floor, lock us in the vault, put our heads down, none of that stuff that could have happened. i didn't feel i was going to get killed. >> the robbers make one more pass, in their duffle bag, they have over $15,000. they walk quickly through the lobby and out the front door.

they have been in the bank for nearly three minutes. all of it caught on the bask's security camera. >> they were content to leave with what they had. in a matter of professional less than ten seconds, they were out of the bank. >> amazingly the one customer in the bank rushes to follow the robbers out the door. he wants to get the license plate of their car. according to protocol, after the robbery of a bank, employees are instructed to lock the doors. >> i was one to lock the doctor t. customer went to the door, out the door with me. i saw them drive by. they still had their masks on, so i knew it was them and i think i was shaking. i really literally think i was shaking. it was very frightening. it was very scary. >> once the doors locked and the bank is secure, manager cj

lanceing quickly goes for a phone to call police. >> 911, what's the address of your emergency? >> i'm at the premier savings bank, we have just been held up. >> you have just been held up? >> pardon me. >> is the person there? >> no, they left. they were going westbound, a plate yb 181 yw. chickasaw plates. >> and they're westbound? >> yes. >> it really didn't hit me until after they were gone the bank was locked, then we were hearing the activity after that it kind of became real that they were dangerous. i wasn't frightened because at that point we were safe, we were locked in here. i think it's the reality that our bank has never been robbed in a small town that we never would have expected that to happen, just happened. we were all pretty shaken

afterwards. you can hardly catch your breath. like a weight was just on your chest. i think all of us had a hard time writing down the license plate. our fingers were not working. we were safe. but it's like, wow, what have we just gone through? what just happened? >> coming up, with police notified, employees are left to wonder, would the two men who just terrorized them be caught or would they go down fighting? >> i don't think any of us realize that they were eager to fire those weapons. you can separate runway ridiculousness...

. >> at the maynard savings bank in rural northeastern iowa, employees are recovering from the traumatic ordeal they have gone through. two masked gunmen armed with weapons held the bank people at gunpoint and stole more than $15,000 in cash. those who entoured the heist are in shock from the experience.

>> we were worried. it was just another day of the 20-some years i have been doing this, then five minutes later, your whole world is changed dramatically. >> when police dispatchers check the registration of the license plate, they get a hit. >> 10-4, registered to a subject out of new hampton, jeremiah mumford out of new hampton. >> jeremiah mumford is 24 years old, his accomplice is william clay toon. today is clayton's 19th birthday, tear vehicles filled with weapons, including two ak-47s, which mumford legally purchased in iowa. a 1996 ford taurus is hardly the type of car that can outrun a police vehicle. it has 145 horse power, far less powerful tan the engines in most law enforcement cars. but that doesn't stop clayton

and mumford from trying to outrun police. they travel roads that criss-cross this section of iowa. fayette county deputy sheriff joe miller picks up the chase as captured by a squad car dash cam. >> 60-mile-an-hour approaches. >> i'm getting closer and closerch all of a sudden i heard something. it sound like a rocket in my car. we're traveling 60-mile-an-hour on a dprafl road. i heard it again, something ain't right. >> the next moment, miller realizes shots are being fired. >> shoots fired. shots fired. >> we heard shots fired. shots fired. >> i thought one went into the engine. it shook my whole car and actually knocked me sideways. i looked down the, the temperature gauge is going up on the car. i go, oh, they got me. smoke started coming through the vents and my temperature gauge

was way up hot. i had to stop. >> meanwhile, police and fbi agents have arrived at the mayyard savings bank. that i are interviewing the employees about what happened. general police protocol after a bank robbery, regardless of jurisdiction, is that each bank employee must give a statement separately. >> everyone is supposed to write down their own observations before discussing with others. >> this issues that employees do not compare notes about what happened and are able to maintain their individual perspectives. >> the officer of course, were here all afternoon. fbi was here. they were very good at keeping us informed as to what was happening after the suspects left the bank. >> out on the back roads, the thieves are still on the run. department of transportation officer ben driscoll is nearby. sumner police chief dennis kane,

a 35-year-old veteran of law enforcement joins driscoll in the pursuit. >> i was coming up to highway 93 by sumner, the police chief, dennis kane, was coming out with his lights and southeastern on. i slow down, i let him make the corner to head south. he made that corner, i was in behind him at that point in time. so he is the lead in the chase. >> at the next intersection, chief kane overshoots the corner. now driscoll is in the lead. >> mumford unloads gunfire at officer driscoll. >> it sounded like a rock hit my car. i thought to myself, i'm not close enough to them for that to be a rock. >> moments later, bullets slams through the center of the twin cities col's windshield, to the right of where his dash cam is

pointing. >> i looked out my back window, i had chards under my back see. i got scrunched down below my dashboard, i called out over the radio, shots fired, shots fired, shots fired. >> we hear shots fired. >> all of a sudden i see ben's squad car, it was weaveing in and out on the gravel like it was out of control. finally it come to the right-hand side as i was passing the back windshield and it was shattered out and like a dummy, i was thinking, could a rock do that? >> the officer passes me on the left. i shake my head, don't go, don't go? it takes me a while to get my nerve back up. but i can't let another officer go into a gunfight without back-up. >> the thieves have two ak-47 rifles, a 300 caliber weapon. they also have a 40 caliber handgun and a .22 caliber handgun.

for the ak-47s, they use large drums that hold between 75 and 100 rounds of ammunition. the next series of gunshots strikes with far more accuracy. >> the first one was in the neck. i can still remember it pushed me up, slammed me back against the seat and i started seeing all these little floating glass fragments in slow motion. everything was slow motion and i can hear these hard thunks, they must have been the bullets hitting the car. i noticed that my thumb was just about blown off. >> as i'm getting closer to him. i see his vehicle come to ap as to. he bails out of the car. i see him with his left hand holding his neck. there is blood all over him. his hand, i slam on the braeks, i call on the radio an officer has been hit. >> then pull up, he come running

up, he said my right side was covered with blood. >> blood dripping from his mouth, bubbling. i had no idea if he would survive. i had never seen anything like. driscoll applies intense pressure to kane's through-and-through shoulder wound. >> i don't remember putting all my body weight on him. i do remember pressing on the thumb from the arm, pressing on the back like this as hard as i could to stop the blood flow. if you continue to stop the blood flow it will work through his body. i can tell his mind was working, he didn't go into shock. we were doing the right thing, applying pressure, having him sit down and wait. >> are you all right? yeah? >> i talked to god and i just said, don't let this be my last time. you know, give me the strength to pull through it. >> here's the deal. you got one through the neck, one through the shoulder, and

one back here in the hand. >> one to the neck, one to the shoulder. >> one through the hand. >> i believe that i used all of my adrenaline on dennis kaivenlt i wasn't stressed emotionally. i had poured all that adrenaline into saving his life. after the ambulance left, i called my wife. she said, "when are you coming home?" i said, "as soon as i get a ride." >> there is no doubt it will turn out bad for us or them or both.

. >> merry christmas, everyone, here's what's happening, gay rights, the federal court rejecting same-sex marriages. ups is apologizing to customers who did not get christmas orders on time. they said they couldn't keep up with shipments. some shipments may not arrive until thursday. norad children were speaking to santa. now back to "terror in the

heartland." [ music playing ] >> after being questioned for hours by police, employees at the mayyard community savings bank, who suffered through a traumatic bank robbery prepare to go home. but they don't want to leave alone. >> every time our door would open, we have a little squeak in our door, you would not believe how many heads would turn towards the door every time that door opened. >> that night, nobody really wanted to leave the bank, because we felt secure here and you go outside of the bank, then you just feel vulnerable to everything and we all kind of walked out to our cars together and hurried home because then you would feel safe again.

>> dozens of miles away the two robbers, 24 hour-year-old jeremiah mumford and 19-year-old william clayton continue to leave members of law enforcement on a high speed chase never slowing down. the two heavily armed bank robbers have unleashed a fuselage of gun power against police. >> i'm a quarter mile behind. i got more cops coming. i say, i'm going to stay with them. so i'm staying with them. all of a sudden a first round came through my windshield. the round went through the windshield, through the dash, splintered, hit my arm and i just got really small. i just got way down below the steering wheel and i'm driving and i'm yelling on the radio "shots fired." >> shots fired. >> his wound goes through his right arm. he's still in pursuit. >> i got my rifle out between

the a-pillar and the door. i'm holding the door opened withny knee chasing them down the road waiting for a good shot to return fire. >> he shoots four times but misses. he turn noose the small town of fed rick fredericka. the deputy pulse up. keep going. the radio asked me, if i need an ambulance. it's a nice community, but i'm not tying in fredericka. >> the thieves bail out of their car into a large area of woods. >> somebody says, "who got shot?" i says that's me. kenny howl says it's a through-and-through, you are going to the hospital. >> police surround a 2-square mile section of the woods. there are several building, houses and cabins that must be searched. >> it was tough to hear that building cleared, that building cleared. you kept wanting to say, there

they are, they're in custody. that building cleared. they snuck the guy out. >> we were so close to that community of fredericka. we were so concerned these folks would get into a house or a drens where somebody is occupying it and taking hostage and hurt someone. >> waterloo police sharpshooters are positioned in the southwest corner they intensely scan the woods. they are waiting for the two bank robbers to try to flee the woods and make an escape. >> something caught my attention off to the left of usch there was two figures, dark holding. they kind of hunched down out of the ditch. ten they turned and headed away from us. >> as the two men wait to make a move, a photographer takes a picture that shows the sharpshooters in the foreground and a police vehicle about a quarter mile away.

it seems that everyone is ready for fight. >> jerry shot at a bunch of officer, he shot two of them. there is no doubt in my mind this is going to turn bad for either us or both. we all made up our minds we were going to shootout. >> overhead, a police airplane captures these final moments on video using fleer technology that measures heat from a person's body. the camera can actually see in the dark and it shows the moment that mumford and clayton are finally arrested. >> we approached about this far, we started giving them orders, get your hands up, don't move. as soon as the first words came out of our mouth, the flashlight came on, their hands came straight up. >> it was quiet. it came across, we have them apprehendedch everybody was, like, yes. for two minutes, they were asking each other, you got them? are you sure? you hear the cheering and

handshakeing? eia, they got them. then it was like, alive? yeah, they're all alive, no one is hurt. we're like oh, thank god. >> mumford and clayton are taken to the sheriffs station for questioningf over two hour, each of the men confesss to much of what went on that day including why they chose to rob the maynard community bank. >> why the bank in maynard? >> do you know of any police officer in maynard? >> no. makes sense to me. but there is lots of small towns in maynard? >> far enough away from my home and the statistic, financially, for any bank in maynard savings is a very, very successful bank considering the economic hardship. >> that's right. >> so all of these things seems like a logical choice. >> an ak-47, which started with

approximately 500 rounds. if i wasn't for me, we would have probably shot the cops instead of getting arrested. >> why? >> i don't know, it's just the way he is, i guess. >> while in custody, mumford draws a map to show investigators how he and clayton pulls off the heist. as he is being led to jail, mumford tells reporters exactly how he feels about what he's done. >> do you admit to robbing the bank in maynard? >> it appears so. >> do you feel bad for what you did? >> no. >> for those who survived this dangerous ordeal, ply the people at the mayjord savings bank, it's a memory that will not soon go away. >> we felt violated. we felt very violated. this is our space. you know, we were invaded by

>> it's halloween, october 31st, 2007, in the chicago suburb of palos heights. just 30 miles outside the city, this small town is described as sa sleepy bedroom community. but behind the quiet facade the idyllic suburb is a hot bed of bank robberies. >> in a four-year period we had 13 bank robberies, which is unheard of for a town our size. there is only about 15,000 people that live in town. >> it still was considered rare when these bank robbers started. and the fact that they were armed robberies i think was a shock to a lot of people that live here that the guns and weapons were involved. the fact that these robberies began to be more than just one or two happening, it frightened people. >> it started being a joke to the fbi saying you have more than chicago do.

one was coming. for a while there, you were right every time there was another around the corner. >> the bank at ridgeland avenue doesn't look like the other commercial buildings at this busy intersection. it's a two-story brick structure with colonial columns in the front in the span of four years, this bank has been robbed multiple times. now it's happening again two men wearing hard hats enter. they look like construction workers stopping in to deposit a check. but these men are not here for banking business the guns they carry make that obvious. >> traffic safety dust the road crews would wear. it looked like they were coming from a construction site. >> the men begin a takeover-style bank robbery. the most dangerous kind of

heist. some bank robberies have a thief handing a note to a teller demanding money, implying they have a weapon or a bomb. a takeover robbery has criminals demanding that everyone get on the ground. the robbers usually have guns and sometimes fire them. the two men want to intimidate bank employees and patrons. everyone is ordered to the floor. so far, their heist is going as planned. >> they forced everyone to get down on the ground except the teller that they were holding the gun to and they demanded that they be taken to the back. >> they take a teller and manager to the vault and then have them empty money into a sack. >> the gentleman in the vest takes control of the rest of the employees and the workers, the one customer there. the other gentleman, he did go wage to the vault. he's ordering the manager there

into the vault. you see here is where he actually pushes her to the ground. he checks with a customer. gets him back on the ground. you see him walk another employee and force her to the ground. you see he has the gun in his right hand. >> the only chance employees have to stop the robbery if progress is to sound a silent alarm. each teller station has a button underneath its table and the bank's other desks have remote controls with panic but torps as well no bank employee has the chance to push them. >> when you are ordered like that and you have a gun there, they're thinking about their own safety. they did what they were told is what i would expect. >> as quickly as they arrive, the thieves head for the exit and leave. once the employees feel safe, they push the alarm button. police are notified immediately. according to police several

employees are crying making it difficult for employees to get solid information. for these workers, an average day at the office has turned into a trauma they will never forget. >> somebody comes in like that is pulling a gun on them, demanding money for them. they're concerned, am i going to see my husband or wife again or see my children again? >> detectives say these takeover style robberies are becoming more common. it's because so many people have cell phones that make it easy for anyone caught up in a robbery to call police. to make sure no one gets that chance robbers are relying on the takeover style of roshry more and more often witnesses report the robbers are two black men driving a pickup truck. employees say the men knew exactly what they were doing. they get away with over $215,000 in cash, a huge sum for any bank

robbery. >> this is all done within two minutes. from the time they walk in the doctor to the time they walk out of the bank just under two minutes. so this has been plan ford a while. >> but there is one thing the thieves don't anticipate. a device called a dye pack is mixed in with the cash taken from the vault a. dye pack is usually found at the bottom of a cash drawer. it looks like money and weighs the same. bank robbers in a hurry usually don't notice they're taking it. >> once it goes outside the general vicinity, for example, you could set it up where if it's outside of the bank for a certain number of seconds or it goes beyond the bank doors the dye pack will detonate, ruining the money, or marking the suspects. there is some burning. it will char the money, definitely a lot of smoke a. lot of dye that goes off. >> the thieves are about to find out what a dye pack can do as they pull out on to ridgeland avenue the pack explodes inside their pick-up truck t. truck swerves into oncoming traffic.

pink smoke billows out the windows. an older woman had called and said she had been cut off by a white pickup truck. there was a cloud of pink mist coming from the car. she wasn't able to help us with a description of the offenders she couldn't see inside there was so much dust coming from the dye pack. despite the smoke and the explosion of dye in the car the thieves manage to escape. >> i don't know how they drove after it. i guess when you are panicing and you know police will be coming after you, you do what you need to do. we don't foe if they were able to get new interior from a junkyard. they would not be able to drive around in that car without it being noticeable. >> after that the robbers are gone. for two years, detectives try in vain to hunt them down. >> the bank put a reward out. the bank put a reward out. for whatever reason it was, whether the disguises were good enough. they weren't recognized or

people chose not to assist us. we weren't able to get dna evidence of fingerprint evidence from the scene. it's hard to put a case together. >> investigators hope some of the country. cy marked with red dye will turn up but no marked money is found. without the money or leads, the case gross cold. coming up, just when detectives think the thieves have gotten away with robbery, they strike again and once again they hit the same bank. >> i put my vehicle like this and angled it. i shielded it in case they came out shooting. >> mine was earned orbiting the moon in 1971. [ male announcer ] once it's earned, usaa auto insurance is often handed down .

>> more than two years after thieves dressed as construction workers robbed the bank in palos heights, illinois, it seems the case has grown cold detectives are i trying trook down the more than $200,000 the men made off

with in the heist. they have learned one of the suspects names but have made no arrest sfwls the fbi worked with an informant that gave us information that identified one of the defenders may have been responsible for the bank robery. >> wally ali lives in chicago. despite knowing his name and last known address, police have been unable to locate him more than two years later, dave delaney is promoted from detective to chief deputy, which means his days investigating the halloween bank robbery in 2007 are about to come to an end. >> it can be very frustrating when you are working on a case, especially when it's something that high profile. once i knew i was getting promoted and wasn't going to be in the office anymore, it made me want to try to solve. that we had a lot of success with clearing these bank robberies. for two years, they get the dollar amount i worked with in a bank robbery, i wasn't able to do it. >> but these bank robbers are

going to give delaney and the rest of the palos heights police department another chance. three thieves approached the same tcf bank with their guns concealed. instead of construction worker uniforms, they now wear hooded sweatshirts and ski masks. armed with a shotgun and two handguns, they enter the same door and again threaten the lives of employees and patrons. one man takes a teller to the vault while the other two stand guard. >> you can see them here, he's going to be entering into the vault with a bank employee. this is the same bank that we had from our bank robbery before and it turns out to be the same offender. it was february was rather cold. they were wearing winter clothes. they didn't draw a lot of attention to themselves within they went in. >> this time they brought a third robber with them a. third suspect. he had a shotgun with them and two of them were kaefrg handguns.

>> this is one of the offenders, you see he is wearing the ski mask and he's just making sure that everybody that he has laying on the ground here aren't staying and doing what he has told them to do. he is waiting for his accomplice to come out of the vault. >> the sergeant is nearing the end of his shift that day when a call comes in over the radio. a manager of the bank is in the parking lot and sees the men enter the building. >> he believed that this was going to resolve in a robbery, the police while they were in the bank. >> a bank robbery on 127th street. >> as we were going the witness was continuing to give information. it started out they were still in the bank. >> three black males with ski masks on. >> dispatch sends all the available officers to the scene. poim, the thieves point their guns at tellers and order them to the vault where they load up a bag with over $100,000. this time they make sure not to

take a dye pack. >> by the time the three men left the bank, the police were already on their way to the scene. >> as we were getting closer to the scene, as they passed through the stop light right up here, they started to say they had exited the bank. >> it looks like they just exited a grey four-door full size truck. >> as i approached about where we are now the witness was saying they had left. they went northbound originally. so i knew that car was coming towards me. >> nagy does not go unnoticed. >> they must have saw me pull a u-turn. they pulled into the street i will turn into right now. i knew there was only two exits on the avenue. as i was following the truck to these roads, i radioed to close those two exits so they would be trapped in the subdivision here. >> he follows the suspect noose a cul-de-sac where he knows that is no way out. he has them cornered. he also has created a dangerous situation. >> if i'm at 6:00. they were at 12:00. their car was between these two
