Last week in Orange County an armed man conducted a holdup at the U.S. Bank, in Tustin, California. Authorities said he got away with some un an specified amount of cash from two of the tellers before fleeing the scene. The man fled on foot. The man was described as approximately 5-feet-8-inches tall, 170 pounds, 35 to 40 years old wearing a dark-colored shirt. He is considered armed and dangerous.
Earlier on the same day, a man was seen checking out a U.S. Bank in Baldwin Hills, Los Angeles. That man was driving a vehicle that looked like a Mercedes-Benz M series SUV. It is possible that the same man inside the SUV who appeared to be casing the bank in Los Angeles, and the person who entered the bank in Tustin, Orange County, could be the same person.
