LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Police hope surveillance video will lead them to a woman who held up a West LA bank at gunpoint.
On Jan. 28, the woman stepped into a bank in the 100 block of North La Cienega Boulevard and handed a teller a handwritten note, demanding cash, the LA Police Department reported. She then pointed a handgun at the teller, who handed an undisclosed amount of cash.
