LAGUNA NIGUEL (CBS) — Investigators are swarming at a Citibank branch in Laguna Niguel Wednesday after a bank robber hit the business Wednesday afternoon.

The robbery took place just after 4:35 p.m., said officials.

The branch is located at Golden Lantern and Marina Hills Drive, said Lt. Stu Greenberg.
