Elk Grove police are asking the public's help in identifying and locating two suspects in the attempted robbery Wednesday of the Wells Fargo Bank at 5120 Laguna Blvd.
The suspects entered the bank at 3:43 p.m. and confronted several employees. When they entered, one of the suspects used the handle from a scooter to prop open the front door, according to a Police Department news release. Once inside, they reportedly approached several different employees, grabbed them and demanded that they open the safe.
Before employees were able to comply with the demands, the suspects left on foot and were seen running into a residential neighborhood. They did not obtain any money from the bank.
The first suspect (left photo) was described a black man in his late teens or early 20s, 6 feet tall, with a thin build. He was wearing a black jacket over a gray hooded sweatshirt, dark gray jeans, black gloves and dark colored athletic shoes. He also wore a white cloth that covered the lower portion of his face and was carrying a red bag.
