Keys Used in Burglary of Bank’s Cash Machine
One or more burglars used at least two keys to get into a Security Pacific National Bank automatic teller machine in Norwalk and make off with nearly $70,000 in cash, authorities said Wednesday.
The theft was the second major cash loss from the same ATM, which was installed in a specially built, locked hut on the Cerritos College campus at 11110 E. Alondra Blvd., Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sgt. Timothy Curtis said.
Other details of the earlier burglary, which occurred about a year ago and remains unsolved, were not immediately known. In the Monday night theft, a silent alarm alerted a security company and sheriff’s deputies.
“It appears as though the suspects had a key to a building that houses the ready teller machine and one to provide entry to the machine,” Curtis said.
