LAPD Looking For Man Who Robbed Van Nuys Bank
(CBS) VAN NUYS, Calif. A man with a two-inch scar on his upper left
cheek robbed a Bank of America in Van Nuys Friday, took about $1,000
and escaped in a taxi cab, police said.
The bandit walked into the bank in the 6500 block of Van Nuys
Boulevard at about 10:20 a.m. and “simulated a handgun” when
demanding cash, Officer Sara Faden of the Los Angeles Police
Department’s Media Relations section said.
He ran out of the bank and jumped into a yellow taxi, Faden said.
No injuries were reported in the holdup.
Police described the suspect as a white, Middle Eastern or possibly
Armenian man whose dark hair is streaked with gray. He is believed to
be 50 to 56 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 170 pounds with
brown eyes.
Police asked anyone with information to call the LAPD’s 24-hour tip
line at 1-877-LAWFULL.
