The 57-year-old woman was at the Wells Fargo Bank ATM at 6611 Castor Ave. at 11:23 p.m. on Nov. 24 when a man armed with a handgun approached her from behind and demanded money.

The man was about 20 years old, stood 5 feet tall, weighed about 140 pounds, and was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and black shoes, police said.
