Three men robbed the United Commercial Bank on Valley Blvd. in Rosemead on Friday afternoon.
Witnesses say the three black men were clad in camoflage with masks covering their faces and put a sign on the bank door saying that it was closed due to an emergency before entering and robbing the bank. Although one of the thieves did jump the counter during the ordeal, no injuries were reported.
Spokeswoman for the FBI Lourdes Arocho said that no guns were seen by the employees or patrons but one of the robbers indicated that there was a gun in his pocket. They told people simply "Do not move. Put your hands up. Give me the money," Arocho said.
They fled on foot with an unknown amount of cash they obtained by several registers. The FBI asked witnesses, employees,
and patrons questions for hours after the brief incident and are reported to believe that these robbers may be serial bandits wanted for simular incidents in seven bank robberies in El Monte, Thousand Oaks, Ventura, Oxnard, Westminster and San Clemente.
