A Wells Fargo bank branch was robbed at gunpoint Monday afternoon, and the alleged culprit was caught while running through the parking lot.
The robbery happened about 2 p.m. at the branch at 27722 Vista Del Lago, according to Orange County sheriff’s Lt. Jeff Hallock.
The robber waved a gun around during the stickup, but no one was injured, Hallock said.
He was identified tonight as Lharimi Lamsen, 30, of Orange.
Lamsen is also believed to have held up another Wells Fargo branch in the 26000 block of Town Centre in Lake Forest on March 6, Hallock said.
Lamsen was booked into the Santa Ana Police Department jail and investigators intend to pursue federal charges against him.
Anyone with additional information on the robberies was asked to call (714) 647-7000.
