ATM Robbers Who Used Semi-Automatic Rifle Remain At Large: Culver City PD

CULVER CITY, CA — Two people suspected of robbing a person at a Culver City ATM using a semi-automatic rifle early Thursday morning remain at large, according to the Culver City Police Department.

The incident occurred at around 1:10 a.m. at an ATM near Sepulveda Boulevard and Playa Street. After the victim withdrew cash and was walking back to his vehicle, two men ran up to him, according to police.

One of the suspects pointed a black semi-automatic rifle at the victim and said "Give me the money. Give me the cash," according to police.

Fearing for his safety, the victim threw the money ($120) on the ground in front of the two suspects.

The first suspect then demanded more money and the man's phone. When the man did not produce the items, the first suspect told the man "let's get in your car and go somewhere else." The man did not comply and both suspects fled the area, police said.

The suspects are described as male and in their late teens to early 20s.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact CCPD Public Information Officer Jennifer Atenza or jennifer.atenza@culvercity.org, or call the watch commander at 310-253-6202.
