An armed robbery at the Wells Fargo Bank in Carmel on Friday has prompted local law enforcement to conduct a large-scale search for the suspects, who reportedly fled in a red vehicle. The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that multiple individuals entered the bank around 4:40 PM, believed to be armed, before escaping with an undisclosed amount of cash.
In response to reports of suspects seen running toward a nearby school, Carmel Middle School enacted a lockdown as a precautionary measure, although no students were on campus at the time. Law enforcement agencies, including the California Highway Patrol and K-9 units, conducted a detailed search of the area but found no suspects, leading officials to believe they have left the vicinity. A bank customer sustained minor injuries during the incident, but there were no serious injuries reported.
