Strong arm robbery on Goldenwest Street

A Surf City woman was robbed of a large amount of cash and checks

outside of the First Bank and Trust on Goldenwest Street Friday at

1:30 p.m.

Teresa O’Brien, 51, was approaching the front door of the bank

with deposits from her two liquor stores when a dark skinned man,

described as middle eastern spoke to her in an unknown language,

wrestled a bag containing a bank deposit from her grip. He fled the

scene in a mid-sized vehicle that witnesses say was possibly white,

silver or gray in color, said Huntington Beach Sgt Mike Kelly.

The suspect has been further described by witnesses as roughly 25,

5-foot-7, 170 pounds with a light or sparse mustache. He was possibly

wearing a blue jacket, white collared shirt and blue jeans, Kelly

said.

A second suspect, described as a dark haired male, was driving the

car.
