On Tuesday, December 16, 2008, at approximately 9:45 A.M., an armed robbery occurred in the Bank of America parking lot, 11262 Los Alamitos Boulevard. Two (2) female victims were transporting an unknown amount of cash to be deposited at the bank. Both victims are employees of a fast food restaurant in a neighboring city.
Two Male African-American suspects approached the victims in the parking lot as they parked their car. As the victim driver attempted to exit the vehicle, Suspect #1 displayed a semi-automatic handgun in his waistband, forced her back into the vehicle, and took the bank deposit bag containing the cash from her person.
