Authorities were searching for two robbers who stormed a bank Thursday in Brentwood and fled with cash.
The robbery occurred around 1:30 p.m. at OneWest Bank in the 1200 block of Wilshire Boulevard near Centinela Avenue, police said.

dark-colored pants, a black baseball cap and glasses. Witnesses said he had a
soft voice.
