2 Men Sentenced in October Bank Robbery

A Los Angeles man has been sentenced to more than 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to the October robbery of an Oxnard bank, the FBI in Los Angeles said.

Darryl Andre Young, 30, was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court for robbing the Security Pacific Bank branch on North Ventura Road on Oct. 6, authorities said.

His accomplice, Gary Cameron of Oxnard, was sentenced earlier to 2 1/2 years in prison after pleading guilty to the same robbery.

Cameron, 36, was arrested after a robbery at the same bank branch in November, and Young was identified from bank surveillance camera pictures, the FBI said.

Meanwhile, two west Ventura County men were indicted by federal grand juries on unrelated bank robbery charges, the FBI said.

Mario Fernando Lopez, 26, of Ventura and James Louis Dawson, 28, of Oxnard were indicted last week by federal grand juries in Los Angeles in connection with bank robberies in Port Hueneme and Ventura, FBI Special Agent Charlie J. Parsons said Wednesday.

Lopez was charged with the May 7 robbery of the Bank of America on Telephone Road in Ventura, after Ventura police linked him to fingerprints found at the scene, Parsons said.

Dawson is accused of robbing the Port Hueneme branch of Great Western Bank on Channel Islands Boulevard. He was arrested moments after the May 11 robbery by Ventura County sheriff’s deputies, the FBI said.
