Banks and ATMs Around the Lunar New Year
and Other Holidays
 Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman and law enforcement officials from across the county urge the public to stay vigilant, especially when withdrawing and depositing money at banks and ATMs.

Trust your instincts — if you believe something appears suspicious, report it immediately. Let me be clear: To those thinking of engaging in criminal conduct, please heed this warning that you will be arrested, prosecuted and punished to the fullest extent of the law.”
