Will Rodriguez said he was just steps outside the Bank of the West on Lakeshore Ave. near Mandana Blvd. Rodriguez said the thieves were in a sedan parked along the curb just outside the bank. "I'm just kind of shaky, still kind of stressed out," said Rodriguez. According to Rodrigez, another man got out of the car with an assault riffle. Rodrigez gave the thieves the money. When asked why the thieves may have targeted him, Rodriguez replied,"I think they just saw the black deposit bag because normally I keep it tucked in for safety. But as I got to right here, I pulled it out so I can walk into the bank with it." OPD said since mid-February, there have been five armed robberies at ATM's and that the trend appears to be continuing.
