Man Flees With Cash in Bank Holdup
MISSION VIEJO — A man held up a bank here Saturday, stuffing $528 in cash in a briefcase before walking out, authorities said.
The man walked into the Bank of America at 26821 Trabuco Road about 9:05 a.m., handed a teller a note and demanded money, Orange County Sheriff’s Lt. Jay Mendez said.
The teller handed over the cash, which the robber placed in a brown portfolio before leaving, Mendez said. No one was hurt and no weapon was seen.
Witnesses said the robber was white, had a round face, blue eyes and wore wire-rimmed glasses. He appeared to be in his mid-40s, 6 foot 2 and weighing 210 pounds, Mendez said. The robber had short blondish-red hair and wore a white T-shirt and white baseball cap, he said.
