The FBI’s San Francisco Field Office, San Mateo County Sherriff’s Office, and San Francisco Police Department continue to seek the public’s help in identifying the suspects, who are believed to have robbed the Bank of America at 1007 Taraval Street in San Francisco this morning. On Monday, it is believed the suspects robbed one bank in San Francisco and one bank in Millbrae; the other bank robbery occurred in April.
