SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -

FBI agents in Utah are offering a $10,000 reward to find a pair of robbers who used a glazed pastry as their calling card.

Agents say two masked gunmen walked into a Zions Bank branch in Salt Lake City a little before noon on Monday.

Authorities say nobody was injured during the robbery, but the gunmen pointed their weapons at customers and ordered them to the ground.

Agents say the bandits placed a package inside the bank that they said was a bomb.

But officials determined the package, which was wrapped in blue Christmas paper with snowmen printed on it, was not a bomb but a box of Mrs. Freshley's Honey Buns.

The FBI says the two men should be considered armed and dangerous.
