Culver City bank robbery suspect arrested after attempted robbery in L.A.
A man accused of robbing a Culver City bank earlier this month has been arrested and charged after allegedly committing a similar robbery elsewhere in Los Angeles County, authorities announced Tuesday.
The robbery occurred June 2 around 1:10 p.m. at a bank in the 3800 block of Culver Center Drive, according to the Culver City Police Department.
Investigators said the suspect approached a teller window and handed over a note demanding money. Although the man never displayed a weapon, he repeatedly gestured toward his waistband and claimed he had a gun, causing employees to believe he was armed.
Fearing for their safety, bank employees complied with the demand, investigators said.
The suspect, described as a Black adult about 5 feet 10 inches tall with a heavy build, then fled on foot with approximately $10,000 in U.S. currency.
Following an investigation by Culver City detectives, with assistance from the department’s forensics unit, authorities identified the suspect as 35-year-old Shawn Greene.
On June 12, Greene was arrested by deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s West Hollywood Station after he reportedly attempted to rob another bank, police said in an updated news release.
Culver City detectives interviewed Greene while he was in custody in West Hollywood, during which, police said, he admitted to the June 2 bank robbery in Culver City.
He has since been charged with two counts of bank robbery by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Anyone with additional information about the Culver City robbery is asked to contact Detective Stulp at 310-253-6312. Anonymous tips can be submitted through Los Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.lacrimestoppers.org.

Those comfortable Fourth of July temperatures will come to an end this week as Southern California braces for more summer-like conditions and a heat advisory.
“Definitely going to be a tough week in front of us as finally we see a shift in the weather pattern,” KTLA meteorologist Henry DiCarlo said Monday. “We are going to see temperatures for the inland valleys making a run toward 100 degrees, more so tomorrow and through the rest of the week.”
The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory from 10 a.m. Tuesday through 8 p.m. Thursday as highs in the inland valleys reach between 90 and 100 degrees. Temperatures of 104 degrees or higher will be possible over portions of the Antelope Valley.
Residents are urged to stay out of the sun, wear light-colored clothing, drink plenty of water and never leave pets inside a hot car.
“We also have some fire concerns as we’re going to get some gusty winds going,” Henry said.
Temperatures are expected to cool slightly after Thursday, according to the Weather Service.
“We do get a moderate pullback for the upcoming weekend, but still warm and still above average,” Henry said.
