A victim was robbed at gunpoint by two suspects at a Culver City ATM Thursday.

Officers responded to the robbery report at about 1:20 a.m. in the 5600 block of Sepulveda Boulevard, according to the Culver City Police Department.

Police said the victim was returning to his vehicle after making a cash withdrawal from an ATM when two suspects approached him and demanded the cash and other personal property, including his cell phone.

“One of the suspects pointed a black semi-automatic rifle at the victim and said, `Give me the money. Give me the cash.’ Fearing for his safety, the victim threw the money on the ground in front of them,” police said in a statement.

The suspects fled the scene a short time later after the victim refused to get into his vehicle and drive to a different location to get more money for the suspects and turn over his cell phone, police said.

A total of $120 was stolen from the victim, according to police.

Investigators described the suspects only as two males in their late teens to early 20s.

Anyone with information regarding the robbery was asked to contact Culver City Police Department spokeswoman Jennifer Atenza at 310-253-6120 or jennifer.atenza@culvercity.org. The watch commander can be reached at 310-253-6202.
