West Covina bank frequent target Posted on November 8, 2008 by Brian Day WEST COVINA — Four the third time in less than four months, a local Washington Mutual branch has experienced an unauthorized withdrawal.A robbery was reported Friday afternoon at the branch located at 100 N. Citrus Street, West Covina police said.The suspects, described initially only as a Latino man estimated to be in his 20s, handed a teller a note that threatened he had a gun and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.On Oct. 2 and July 21, similar visits were paid to the bank by robbers bearing a similar suspect description.In the July heist, police said the robber also used a note that mentioned he was armed.Few details were available Saturday regarding the October crime.Bank security expert Mike Alerich points out that a bank robbery perpetrated by similar suspect was also reported Monday at a Washington Mutual branch in Glendale.Officials have yet to confirm we’re dealing with a serial robber here, however pictures of the robbers in the earlier robberies have been made available by the FBI.What do you think? NOTE: The FBI photos incorrectly identify the city of the WAMU branch as Covina. It is West Covina.
