Last year, bank robberies in the region dropped to 645, nearly a 10-year low. But rather than quiet thieves who pass notes or whisper their demands, more and more bank heists are staged in commando-style takeover robberies with automatic weapons, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Bosley. In 2001 and 2002, takeover robberies made up nearly 30 percent of the 1,322 bank robberies in the Los Angeles area, up from 20 percent in the early 1990s. If the trend continues, the FBI estimates that, by next year, takeovers will account for about 40 percent of all bank robberies in Southern California. - Associated Press Crackdown nets 15 in two valleys Fifteen residents of the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys suspected of filing more than $800,000 in fraudulent welfare claims were arrested Friday as part of a crackdown on major welfare cheats by the District Attorney's Office.
