Two men strapped a "bomb" to a bank manager and used her to rob the bank she worked at in Los Angeles on Sept 5.

The woman, who has not been identified, said two masked men confronted her at her home and strapped what they said was an explosive device to her body, and drove with her to the Bank of America branch where she worked. The woman entered the bank, told her coworkers about the situation and took an undisclosed amount of money from the bank's vault.

The money was tossed to the two robbers through the bank's back door. The robbers escaped in a white two-door Kia.

A bomb disposal squad removed the device from the woman and used a robot to destroy it. It was determined that the device was not an actual bomb.

Police are still looking for the two suspects.
