FULLERTON : Information on Robbers Sought
Wells Fargo Bank is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the men who robbed the bank’s El Camino Plaza Office in Fullerton on Sept. 22.
Two armed men wearing masks entered the branch at 141 W. Bastanchury Road and forced employees to open the vault. They took the vault’s cash and then jumped over the teller counter to snatch cash from the teller drawers.
They escaped in a white Mazda RX-7, which was recovered nearby.
The reward is part of the bank’s James B. Hume program, set up to track down bank robbers. It was named after a Wells Fargo chief of detectives who served from 1873 to 1902 and captured stagecoach robbers.
Anyone with information concerning the robbery should call the FBI office in Santa Ana at (714) 542-8825.
