Quality Family Time
They say that eating dinner together, as a family, is quality time. Whoever said that hasn't met the Clements family in Anaheim, CA. They are accused of robbing banks together.
Last January 27 a branch of Bank of the West was robbed. An armed man kidnapped a teller at her home. She was forced to drive to her branch where she called another teller over to her car. The first teller was told to get money from the vault and return to the car, which she did. Both tellers were then driven away and the armed man fled.
A three-month joint investigation between the Anaheim police and the FBI resulted in the arrests of Charles Clements, 48, his wife Tammy, 45, and her son Bryan Bradley, 28. Charles Clements was arrested on suspicion of robbery and kidnapping. Tammy was arrested for investigation of robbery and harboring a felon. Bradley was booked on suspicion of robbery and conspiracy.
The family plotted this robbery by studying the work patterns of the branch employees. It should always be recommended that employees break a pattern of driving the same way, at the same time, to and from work. Opening and closing practices for a branch should not be obvious and should be changed regularly, as well as tested. While bank robberies like this can't all be prevented, they can be made more difficult in hopes that the robbers would move on instead of trying this one.
