Robbery Suspect Nabbed After 45-Minute Manhunt
A 26 year old transient, Roger Alan Webster, was arrested after an 11:30 a.m. bank hold up at Farmers & Merchants Bank in North Long Beach. A bullet punctured chase ended with a 45 minute search by police and a helicopter. Webster surrendered to officers at Shopping Center 3750 South Street and was booked on robbery and auto theft charges. The tip came from John Flores, a former Los Angeles County deputy, after waitress Joa Brown reported a suspicious man to Flores who then learned from a woman who saw the suspect fleeing through a backyard with a bundled load. The getaway car, found abandoned after a tire blowout, had been stolen in Stanton.
