Elk Grove police are asking for the public's help in identifying two suspects in the armed robbery of a Bank of the West on Thursday morning.
The robbery occurred at about 10:45 a.m. at the Bank of the West in the 8100 block of Sheldon Road, according to an Elk Grove Police Department news release. Two suspects entered the bank and, armed with handguns, ordered everyone in the bank to get on the floor, according to the release.
One suspect jumped over a teller counter and entered the vault area, where he took an undisclosed amount of money, the release states. The second suspect removed money from a teller's drawer. Both suspects then left the bank and were seen fleeing on foot, the release states.
Elk Grove Police officers later learned that the suspects had left in a white four-door vehicle, which responding officers located unoccupied in a nearby neighborhood, according to the release. The vehicle was determined to have been reported stolen June 1.
Officers did not locate the suspects during an ensuing search.
The first suspect, bottom left, is described as a black male adult in his early 20s, 5-foot-8, with a thin build, wearing a ski mask, a dark jacket, blue jeans cuffed at the bottom, athletic shoes and gloves. The second suspect, bottom right, is described as a black male adult in his early 20s, 5-foot-10 with a thin build, wearing a ski mask, a black hooded sweatshirt, gray pants, athletic shoes and gloves.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call the Elk Grove Police Department's Detective Bureau at (916) 478-8060 or Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP (4357).
