The suspects, in a Volvo SUV, led authorities on a chase from Santa Clarita to South Los Angeles, where they began throwing money out the vehicle’s windows, drawing crowds eager to scoop up the cash and culminating in a mob scene when the chase ended.

Gary Cabral, 25, was waiting for a bus when he spotted a car whizzing down Vernon Avenue trailed by police cars. Cabral said a man in the SUV had his head and arms out the window and was throwing money to people on the street.

“I saw money flying in the air and I was like, ‘Let’s go get it,’ ” Cabral said.
“Bank robbery chase ends in South L.A. dash for cash”.   See also, “Bank Robbery Suspects: Like Robin Hood?”(“Kids were smiling like it was Christmas… By the second time the alleged bank robbers passed, there was a crowd of at least 40 people trailing behind, Desean said. He said one man was struck by a police car as he tried to pick up the bills.”) … Damn, I wish Tony Scott were still alive.
