On Tuesday, Nov. 8, at 9:47am, the suspect entered the Wells Fargo branch at 2598 Cherry Ave. and passed a note to a teller demanding money.
According to police, the suspect was armed with a knife and remained in the bank about five minutes. He exited the branch and “casually walked away in a southeast direction,” police said.
The suspect is described as Hispanic, around 5’6″ to 5’9″ tall, with a goatee and a tattoo of lips below his left ear. Near the tattoo is another one that appears to be a name written in script.
Those with information about the suspect/ incident are asked to contact the SHPD Detective Bureau at (562) 989-7220 or Det. Poor at (562) 989-7219.
