Bank Robbery at Olympic/Westwood Shuts Streets Down

Never a good thing in the first place and never a good time for the Los Angeles commuter, a bank robbery late this afternoon northwest of the Westwood and Olympic intersection has shut down streets in the area. An armed robber described as a male black wearing a mask robbed a bank and split. Some streets were shut down as the LAPD routinely checked the area, but as one cop plainly told us in the most deadpan of ways, "robbers never hang around and you can take that to the bank."
