Masked men with rifles rob armored truck outside bank in Oakland
OAKLAND, Calif. June 29 2019
Two masked men armed with rifles swiftly held up an armored truck and escaped with a “considerable amount of cash” according to police.
The heist went down in front of the Wells Fargo in the Foothill Square Shopping Center in Oakland at around 11 a. m.
Officer Johnna Watson with the Oakland Police Department says this incident was calculated.
“It appears to be very specific to the armored car and the guard who would be transporting the cash. This was very focused.”
Oakland police and the FBI are now combing through evidence including surveillance video and interviewing witnesses. They ask if anyone saw what happened to please come forward.
The FBI said that the Wells Fargo bank was not the target and that the entire robbery event occurred outside in front of the bank.
