Hi,

"does raided" make sense in this context?

"His girlfriend raided all his money from his bank account and took off"

Thanks

It is understandable, but I wouldn't use it.

We'd say

'His girlfriend raided his bank account and took off with all his money'.

Same for me. You don't raid money, you steal money. You raid an account or a bank etc.
