FBI and San Diego Sheriff’s Department Seek Public’s Assistance to Identify the Individual Responsible for Robbing an Alpine Bank

March 30, 2010 - The FBI and San Diego Sheriff’s Department are seeking the public’s assistance to identify the unknown male responsible for robbing a California Bank & Trust today.

On Monday, March 29, 2010, at approximately 11:27 a.m., a lone white male entered the California Bank & Trust, located at 2250 Alpine Boulevard, in Alpine, California. The robber approached the first victim teller and stated, “Give me your money.” He then lifted his shirt as if to show the teller he had a weapon, but none was seen. He slammed his hand on the counter and again demanded money. Quickly becoming impatient, he reached over the counter, opened the teller drawer, and took out the money.

The robber then proceeded to a second teller, again reaching over the counter attempting to open the cash drawer, this time unsuccessfully. He approached a third teller where he also made a verbal demand for cash. He also attempted to rob two empty teller stations during the course of this robbery.

The robber fled the bank on a red BMX type bicycle westbound on Alpine Boulevard and was last seen heading westbound on Arnold Way.

Witnesses describe the robber as follows:
• Sex: Male
• Race: White
• Age: 17-25 years old
• Height: 5’7” – 5’8”
• Weight: 140-150 pounds

Clothing: Wearing a white full face off road motorcycle helmet with black design on top, a white bandana covering his face, goggles or sunglasses, a black sweatshirt, and black pants with white sneakers.
