Card Club Winnings Stolen From Couple
A man and woman returning home from a card club were robbed of their $10,000 in winnings as they returned home late Tuesday, Sheriff’s Department officials said.
The assailants probably followed the couple home from a Bell Gardens card club, Lt. Jay Mendez said. The men confronted Bao Le, 58, and Cathy Luu, 35, in their driveway in the 14900 block of Munro Street.
As one assailant hit Le in the head with a handgun, the other grabbed Luu’s purse, which contained from $10,000 to $11,000 in winnings, Mendez said. Le was treated at the scene by paramedics for a head injury.
No arrests have been made.
