They are accused of stealing $140,000, and authorities are investigating whether they were involved in similar robberies in Gardena and Carson.
Two men were arrested Friday on suspicion of ambushing a Loomis guard, shooting him multiple times and stealing $140,000 in a brazen daytime robbery outside a Harbor City Bank of America branch on Monday.
Investigators also linked Akins’ Chevy Malibu and James’ cell phone location to the Harbor City robbery, an affidavit states. The federal complaint says both men opened fire on the guard with semi-automatic pistols, shooting him multiple times in the leg, and stole his weapon and $140,000. In the Hustler Casino robbery, two Loomis guards were ambushed and one was shot multiple times while making a cash delivery to the casino. The suspects fled in a white Honda Accord, but the affidavit noted a black Chevy Malibu “consistent with Akins’ vehicle” was also seen in use by the suspects.
