BREAKING NEWS: Bank robbery in Gardena
Three young men held up the First Bank and Trust in Gardena today, police said.
The robbery at 1875 W. Redondo Beach Blvd. occurred shortly before 10
a.m., according to the Gardena police. Unconfirmed broadcast reports
suggested the trio got as much as $20,000. (I heard much more than that.)
No one was hurt.
The robbers were described as black men about 18-25 years of age. One was wearing a ski
mask and a long sleeve shirt, possibly with the word "Akademiks" on it and a black stripe down each sleeve.
Another, in a black cap, burgundy sweatshirt and blue jeans, was carrying a camouflage
backpack and described as thin, police said.
The other, believed to be about 6 feet tall, was wearing a black beanie, a white, long sleeve shirt and black pants.
Anyone with more information about the crime was urged to call police at (310) 217-9670.
