River City Bank at 3992 Douglas Blvd. was robbed at 1:05 p.m. today, and police say the man shown in a surveillance photo resembles the man who robbed a bank April 26 at Sunrise Avenue and Cirby Way.

In today's robbery, the man showed the teller a note demanding money, took an undisclosed amount of money and left on foot. No weapon was seen and no one was reported injured.

The suspect in today's robbery (left photo) was a described as white man in his 30s, now clean-shaven with a stocky build and short brown hair, according to a Police Department news release. He wore a fedora hat, sunglasses, long-sleeved collarless T-shirt or sweater and blue jeans. The surveillance photo on the right shows the suspect in the April 26 bank robbery at Sunrise Avenue and Cirby Way.

Anyone with information that would assist in identifying the suspect is asked to call Roseville Crime Stoppers at (916) 783-7867. A tip may be submitted online via the Roseville Police Department's website, www.roseville.ca.us/police. Select "submit a tip" from the menu on the left. Tips also may be provided by text to 274637, starting the text with the word "ROSEVILLE."

Tipsters may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward from Roseville Crime Stoppers if the information leads to an arrest.

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.
