Ventura Police Department officers assisted in the arrest of a man wanted on suspicion of bank robbery in Santa Barbara County last week. Authorities arrested Steve Morris at his Ventura home, saying that Morris was responsible for the robbery of a Rabobank in Buellton. Police allege that Morris drove up to the teller’s window and gave the teller a note demanding cash. After the teller complied, the man drove off. Witnesses gave police a partial license plate number, which helped lead them to Morris. He is currently being held on a $100,000 bond.
