LAPD searching for man who tried robbing 3 banks in an hour
LOS FELIZ, LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles police are searching for a man accused of attempting to rob two banks before successfully robbing a third bank within an hour in Los Feliz.
The first attempted robbery occurred at about 1:10 p.m. at a Chase Bank in the 1600 block of Vermont Avenue. The man wearing a ski mask allegedly handed a note to the teller demanding money, but was not successful.
About 30 minutes later, he had changed his shirt and attempted to rob a Bank of America in the 4500 block of Franklin Avenue with the same method, but left without taking any money.
He then moved on to a Citibank in the 1960 block of Hillhurst Avenue, where he was able to get away with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.
All three banks were within a mile from each other.
No weapon was seen and no injuries were reported.
