ROBBERS SOUGHT IN BANK HEIST.

CANOGA PARK - Police were searching for three suspects Friday who took an undisclosed amount of money from a Washington Mutual Bank in a takeover robbery, authorities said.

Three men, two of them armed, entered the bank just after 3 p.m. in the 6400 block of Platt Avenue and ordered tellers to give them money, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Bosley.

Bosley said the robbers commanded, ``Everybody down, everybody down, down, down. Hurry! Hurry! Take everything ... let's go.''

As they ran outside, a bank employee followed the men and saw them head east on Victory Boulevard before jumping a wall into an apartment complex, Bosley said.

No one was reported injured, Bosley said.

Los Angeles Police officers set up a perimeter within a two-block radius of the bank to search for the suspects, police said.

One of the robbers was described as 18 to 24 years old, between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 9 inches, of skinny build, with medium to dark complexion, wearing a blue-and-white floral print bandanna over his lower face with a navy blue hooded sweat shirt and jeans, and carrying a clear or yellow bag. That man did not appear to have a weapon, Bosley said.

Another, armed with a handgun, was described as being in his early to mid-20s, between 5-foot-9 and 6 feet, 180 pounds, wearing a light-colored bandanna on his lower face and possibly a blue nylon jacket, Bosley said.

A third robber, armed with a thin-barreled handgun, was described as 18 to 25 years old, 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet, with a skinny build and dark complexion.
