The State - News from Aug. 30, 1988

A Buena Park bank was robbed of $80,000 by two men who held a bank employee and her family hostage overnight. On Monday morning, the robbers strapped what they said was a bomb to the bank employee and took her and her 25-year-old son to a Security Pacific branch. One robber kept the woman’s son outside while the other took the cash and escaped after telling bank employees the bomb would be detonated if they sought help. Investigators learned later that the device was not a bomb. No one was injured.
