Armed bandits wearing disguises robbed Citibank branches in Costa Mesa and Glendale on Tuesday, authorities said.
In the Costa Mesa robbery, a man wearing a wig and glasses pulled out a handgun at about 9 a.m., pointed it at a teller and demanded that she fill a bag with money, police said in a news release. He then forced a second teller to do the same.
It was the second robbery at the Citibank location in the 2700 block of Harbor Boulevard in less than a month, the Daily Pilot reported.
The robber then demanded that workers open the bank's vault and produce large bills, according to a bank employee who asked not to be named, citing uncertainty about Citibank's policy.
