DOWNTOWN -- Two men who appeared to be carrying weapons robbed a
Citizens Business Bank on Thursday and fled in a red Jeep Cherokee,
police said.
Wearing dark ski masks, the two men entered the bank, at 1000 N. Brand
Blvd., through a back door at about 10:20 a.m. and "started yelling,
'This is a robbery. Everyone get down,' " said Glendale Police Sgt. Rick
Young.
"Nobody saw any weapons. They just felt [the men] had weapons," Young
said.
There were a handful of employees and no customers in the bank at the
time of the incident, he said. No injuries were reported.
The men took "a very small amount of cash" and got into the Jeep,
Young said. The vehicle was seen going east on Fairview Avenue, he said.
This is the 10th bank robbery in Glendale this year, Young said.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Glendale
Crime Stoppers, an anonymous hotline, at 507-7867.
