A man dressed in "motorcycle leathers" and a helmet pointed two guns at tellers today and robbed a Rancho Palos Verdes bank, deputies said.

The robbery at the Union Bank branch at 20 Miraleste Plaza occurred about 10 a.m., Lomita sheriff's Lt. Greg Ahn said.

The man, wearing a complete motorcycle riding outfit,  held a gun in each hand, but fired no shots.

No one was hurt.

He was last seen riding away on a motorcycle south on Palos Verdes Drive East.
Lomita sheriff's detectives and FBI agents are investigating.

The amount of money taken was not disclosed.
