VICTORVILLE – Authorities are asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect who was involved in the robbery of a Victorville US Bank.
On Monday, January 14, 2019, at around 3:40 p.m. deputies from the Victorville Sheriff’s Station responded to the US Bank inside the Vons in the 12100 block of Bear Valley Road for the report of a robbery on. When they arrived they learned that an unidentified male approached the teller with a bag. On the bag, there was a message instructing the teller to put money inside of it. “Although the suspect did not brandish any weapons during the robbery, he did imply that he had a weapon,” said Victorville Sheriff’s Station Spokeswoman Mara Rodriguez. “After receiving the money, the suspect left the location.”
