A woman was forced to withdraw money from an ATM for two robbers in Garden Grove

On August 30, 2023, between 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM, a 66-year-old female was loading groceries into her car at El Super at 12891 Harbor Blvd. when she was approached by two men. The first suspect told the victim that he and and the other suspect needed a ride to the bank. When she said she couldn’t help, he told her she needed to let them into her car or they would take it. Fearful of their threats, the victim unlocked the doors and the men entered the vehicle.
