Armed men rob check cashing business in La Puente

LA PUENTE — Sheriff’s officials asked the public’s help Saturday in finding two gunmen who robbed a La Puente check cashing business.
The crime occurred about 10:20 p.m. Friday at Check Into Cash, at Amar Road and Puente Avenue, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Steven Katz said.
The robbers were both carrying handguns when they entered the store and demanded cash from an employee, the lieutenant said.
They were last seen fleeing the area on foot with an undisclosed amount of stolen money, he added.
Both robbers were described as Latino men in their early 20s, about 5 feet 7 inches tall, of thin build, with brown eyes, Katz said. They wore blue jeans and had dark-colored bandanas over their faces.
One of the robbers wore a white hooded sweat shirt, while the other wore a brown hooded sweat shirt and black gloves, officials said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s Industry Station.
