The man accused of robbing the Holtville Sun Community Federal Credit Union branch in early 2022 is awaiting trial.

Asim Daniels took over $20,000 from the Holtville bank on January 3, 2022, and the next day he robbed a Bank of the West near Grossmont Center in La Mesa. He was arrested a short time after the second heist. He has pleaded not guilty, and his trial is pending. Daniels had been released from a federal prison for prior convictions on charges of bank robbery when he robbed the Holtville and La Mesa banks.
