From Sandy Louey:
Auburn police are looking for a man who robbed a Wells Fargo Bank just after noon Monday.
At 12:04 p.m., a man (left photo) went into the branch at 949 Lincoln Way and demanded the teller place the money in a small dark-colored overnight or backpack style bag, according to a news release.
The robber left with an undisclosed amount of money on foot onto Lewis Street. He also is suspected to be involved in the Dec. 30 robbery (bottom photo) of the Washington Mutual Bank, 4741 Madison Ave., police said.
Auburn police said the robber was described as a white man, 5-feet-8 to 5-feet-10, 170 pounds. He had short dark hair and was clean shaven.
He wore a yellow baseball cap with the word "LOCO" in red letters embroidered on the front, dark-colored large square-framed sunglasses, a denim jacket with brown leather sleeves similar to a letterman's jacket and a blue or black and white Hawaiian-style shirt under the jacket, police said.
Police said the man may also have an injury to his right palm that required stitches. Anyone with information is asked to call the police department's investigations division at (530) 823-4237, extension 263.
