Elk Grove PD releases photo of bank robbery suspect

By Bee Staff

bankrobbery2.jpgElk Grove police have released a photo of the suspect in the robbery of the U.S. Bank at 5000 Laguna Boulevard Tuesday afternoon.

A Police Department spokesman Christopher Trim said the man entered the bank about 3:30 p.m. and presented a note to a teller demanding money. No weapon was seen, but the teller, concerned about safety, complied and the man left with an undisclosed amount of cash.

According to witnesses, the suspect was last seen getting into the passenger side of a vehicle that was driven by an unknown person, police said.

The white vehicle was described as a mid-1990s compact four-door sedan, possibly a Mazda or a Toyota with a California license plate containing the letter X.

The vehicle was last seen traveling northbound on Franklin Boulevard.

The suspect was described as a black male in his 20s, 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 180 to 200 pounds.

The suspect was wearing a black beanie, dark sunglasses, a brown Cleveland Browns football jersey with the number 32 and the word "Brown" across the back over a black long-sleeve shirt, black gloves, baggy dark jeans and white athletic shoes.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Elk Grove Police Department Detective Bureau at (916) 478-8060 or Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP (4357).

Callers to Crime Alert can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.00.

Tips can also be sent via SMS text message by entering CRIMES (274637) on a cell phone, followed by Tip732 (agency identification number) and the message.

Report #10-12028.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
