Roundup: $50,000 Reward Offered In Ahmanson Robbery

H.F. Ahmanson & Co.'s Home Savings of America said it is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those it said kidnapped a branch manager and extorted money from her office earlier this month.

A 28-year-old Home Savings branch manager, her husband, and teenage son were allegedly held captive in their San Dimas, Calif., home on Jan. 2 by approximately six assailants who were said to have robbed the home of unspecified valuables.

The next morning, two of the assailants accompanied the branch manager to her Home Savings office in Montclair and robbed it of an undisclosed amount, the thrift said. All of the victims were released unharmed.
