Bank Robbery: Have You Seen These Men?

Seal Beach Police released a series of new surveillance photos with improved quality today in the hope that members of the public will recognize the men who robbed the Us Bank inside the Vons Pavilions on Pacific Coast Highway at gunpoint last week.

Police believe three men were involved in the Nov. 3 heist, including two who were caught on the store’s video surveillance camera. Police did not release any images for the third suspect, the man believed to be the crew’s get-away driver.

Anyone with any information regarding the incident is asked to call the on-duty Watch Commander of the Seal Beach Police Department at (562) 799-4115 or Detective-Gary Krogman at (562) 799-4100 ext. 1108.
