San Gabriel Police don’t want to say much about a bank robbery they are “actively investigating”.
Sources outside the police department tell Crime Scene that the robbery, a takeover at Bank of America on Las Tunas, was apparently quite brutal and involved a masked man wearing a hooded sweatshirt.
The man apparently ordered bank customers to the ground and may have physically forced an eldrely woman in a walker to hit the floor, sources said.
Police won’t say if anyone was hurt. They said they are working on a report to turn over the the FBI. It’s unclear if they’ve notified the feds that the robbery occurred.
Frank,
Quick question: I read two LA Times articles this past weekend that mentioned two shooting crimes that occurred at parties in Long Beach and someplace else, I forget now.
In neither story was the race of the suspects mentioned. Is there typically an editorial policy in place at most newspapers with regards to reporting the race of the suspect?
If so, what is SGV Tribune’s policy?
Pushy – Pushy !
Poor SGPD having to deal with a trouble maker, next you’re going to ask S.O. about a Rosemead B-R Tues.
Why isn’t your column in daily print?
Got a good story for you next time we talk.
(be careful on that ‘race’ thing.) mike
Frank,
I was hoping you might address my question re: race of suspect in newspaper reports.
Re: Bank robbery in San Gabriel…. just FYI
Noticed The FBI posted the photos of the robbery on their public website 1-24.
Again you right on the money.
Why can’t your column go in daily print??
