A bank robber has been filmed struggling at the open door of a bank he was attempting to steal from.

When trying to follow his partner in crime through the unlocked door, the robber can be seen pushing to no avail, only for his accomplice to drop back and lend a hand.

Once past that first obstacle the suspect pulls out his gun and demands money from the employees of Security National Bank in Omaha, Nebraska.

The pair encountered no such trouble one their way out as they made off with an undisclosed amount of money and drove away in an appropriately named Ford Escape.

No one was reported to be hurt. The investigation is ongoing.
