NEWBURY PARK : Armed Robbers Hit First Interstate Bank
Three men armed with semiautomatic pistols robbed the First Interstate Bank branch on Wendy Drive in Newbury Park on Monday morning.
Two men jumped over the bank counter and forced several employees into the safe while the third man kept about a dozen customers and employees on the floor, FBI Agent Larry Dick said. They fled the site in a stolen station wagon with an undisclosed amount of cash from the vault. The robbers switched cars a few blocks away, Dick said. No shots were fired and no one was injured. The investigation is continuing.
