A man held up a bank here Saturday, stuffing $528 in cash in a briefcase before walking out, authorities said.

The man walked into the Bank of America at 26821 Trabuco Road about 9:05 a.m., handed a teller a note and demanded money, Orange County Sheriff’s Lt. Jay Mendez said.

The teller handed over the cash, which the robber placed in a brown portfolio before leaving, Mendez said. No one was hurt and no weapon was seen.
