Prosecutors say the policemen forced their way into the bank in the capital, Tegucigalpa and tied up the security guards at gunpoint. A passer-by raised the alarm and police fought a gun battle with the alleged robbers, injuring one of them.
A police spokesman said the six were "bad apples" who had sullied the name of the force. He said the agents had already been suspended, and would face the full force of the law.
Security Minister Oscar Alvarez said he would ensure the fight against corruption within the police force was sped up.
