From Bill Lindelof:
Sacramento police are searching for two men suspected of committing separate Natomas bank holdups on Arena Boulevard.
The first heist was April 5 when a man wearing a goatee entered the Bel Air Market at 3250 Arena Blvd. and held up the Tri-Counties Bank inside the supermarket. The suspect showed a note to the teller and demanded money.
The teller complied, money was placed in a brown paper bag and the suspect fled. He is described as a white, about 5-feet-10 and 160 pounds. The suspect had brown hair and was wearing a tan shirt, dark pants and dark gloves.
The second incident occurred when a man, described as weighing about 300 pounds, entered the Wells Fargo Bank at 3220 Arena Blvd. on Saturday. The suspect handed the teller a note, but before any money was handed over, the suspect was startled and fled, police said.
He was last seen leaving the area in a 2003 or newer Jeep Wrangler. The vehicle was white with a black top and had chrome rims.
He was described as white, 22 to 29 years old, 6-feet tall with reddish hair and a goatee. He was wearing a gray camouflage baseball hat, black jeans and a T-shirt inscribed "Saint Joseph Basketball."
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Sacramento Police Department at Crime Alert, (916) 443-4357.
