- Share via
In the second takeover-style robbery in Ventura County in a little more than 24 hours, a masked gunman held up a Camarillo savings and loan Friday and escaped on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The robbery at World Savings & Loan on Las Posas Road at Ponderosa Drive occurred about 12:30 p.m.
The robber, carrying a silver semiautomatic handgun, ordered several tellers to put $100 bills into his briefcase. He then ran across Las Posas Road into an apartment complex, where he disappeared.
Some of the bills had exploding dye packets attached, the FBI said.
