Ventura County sheriff’s deputies said they were searching for four men who held up an employee of the Somis Market on Friday afternoon.
The men confronted a store clerk behind the market as she got in her car on the way to make a bank deposit, authorities said. At least one of the suspects brandished a handgun before they made off in a white van with $10,000 in cash, officials added.
“It’s usually somebody who has a little background,” said Sgt. Steve Hunt. “We’re looking into the possibility that someone probably knew they [made a deposit] at this time of day and took advantage of it.”
Sheriff’s deputies said they found an abandoned white Chevrolet Lumina van a few blocks from the market on Somis Road. They said they believe the van, which was reported stolen in Los Angeles, was the same one used by the suspects.
