FBI and San Diego PD Request Assistance to Identify Hooded Bank Robber

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) are seeking the public’s assistance to identify the individual responsible for a bank robbery in San Diego, California.

On March 6, 2018, at approximately 10:45 a.m., a lone Hispanic male robbed the Chase Bank located at 1740 Rosecrans Street, San Diego, California, 92106. The robber passed a note to the teller demanding cash and threatening a weapon. That weapon was not seen by witnesses. The robber received a sum of cash from the teller then fled the bank on foot.
