Costa Mesa : Woman Robbed After Leaving Teller Machine
An 18-year-old woman was abducted and robbed of $4 after leaving a Costa Mesa bank’s automated teller Thursday night.
Two men approached the Stanton resident shortly before 10 p.m. as she walked from a teller machine at 1st Interstate Bank on Harbor Boulevard, Police Sgt. John FitzPatrick said.
They threatened her with a knife, drove her to an unknown location and robbed her, Fitzpatrick said. They then returned her to the bank and released her, he said.
Both men are believed in their 30s. One is described as 6 feet, 3 inches tall, 190 pounds, with brown eyes and blond hair. He was wearing blue jeans and a green T-shirt. The other is 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, brown eyes and hair, and was wearing blue jeans and a flannel shirt.
