At 10:50 a.m. July 28 Dana Point Police Services and the FBI Bank Robbery Apprehension Team (BRAT) responded to a bank robbery in progress call from the Bank of America at the corner of Del Prado and Golden Lantern in Dana Point.

According to Dana Point Police Services' Sgt. Lynn Koehmstedt, witnesses reported seeing two black males with their faces covered enter the bank and demand money from a teller. One of the suspects apparently jumped over the counter during the incident. No weapons were seen during the robbery and no injuries were reported.

The robbers left with an undisclosed sum of money and made their getaway in a dark colored SUV—possibly a dark blue older model Suburban—that may have been driven by a third black male. The vehicle was seen driving southbound, apparently headed toward the I-5 freeway.

The two men who entered the bank to rob it were described as 25 to 30 years old, weighing approximately 170 pounds and wearing all black clothing.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI BRAT team will continue to investigate. Orange County Sheriff's Department Investigator Dan Salcedo said that due to similarities in circumstances, authorities believe that this robbery may have been perpetrated by the same men who held up a bank in Mission Viejo on July 14.
