SANTA FE SPRINGS — Police asked the public’s help Tuesday in finding two robbers who attacked and robbed a man outside a bank branch.
The crime took place about 10:20 a.m. Friday outside the Bank of America, 9930 Orr and Day Road, as a man was leaving the bank with an envelope full of money, Whittier police said in a written statement.
As the man was walking through the parking lot, two robbers “grabbed the victim, forcing him to the ground in attempt to take an envelope containing cash,” according to the statement.
The victim struggled with his attackers and cash went flying in all directions, police said.
The robbers, described only as black men, snatched up what they could from the ground and were last seen driving east on Telegraph Road in silver, 1980s-model Toyota Camry, officials said.
