Police: Possible Rita's Robber at Wells Fargo Unfounded

Employees at the Wells Fargo at 24471 Alicia Parkway got a fright when a man fitting the description of a violent robber showed up in the store this morning around 11 a.m.

Two robbers in the same shopping center in February.

So when a man fitting the description of one of the robbers came into Wells Fargo, employees called police. They told police the man was holding his arm in such a way that he may have been concealing a gun beneath his jacket.

But Sgt. Sandi Kirsch of Mission Viejo Police Services says the license plate of the man at Wells Fargo showed that he's never been involved in a crime.

"It's just people being aware, and we appreciate it," she said.

She added that the suspects in the Rita's robbery have exclusively hit jewelry stores.
