VICTORVILLE – Authorities have released surveillance photos of the male suspect who robbed the U.S. Bank in the City of Victorville.
On Tuesday, May 22, 2018, at around 4:43 p.m. Victorville station deputies responded to the 12100 block of Hesperia Road for an alarm at the U.S. Bank that is located inside the Vons grocery store. Witnesses told deputies that the white man wearing a hat and sunglasses, handed the teller a note saying that he had a gun and was demanding cash. Although no gun was seen by the teller, the teller handed over the cash. Once the suspect received the money he fled using one of the store’s emergency exits in the back of the store. The suspect is believed to have left in a mid-size white SUV. An area search was conducted by ground and air, but the suspect was not located.
Authorities believe the suspect is the same suspect who was involved in a Fontana bank robbery on Wednesday, May 23, 2018. The suspect involved in the Fontana bank robbery was in a white Chevy Blazer.
Anyone with information about the suspect’s identity or whereabouts should contact Detective M. Gardea or Detective S. Nobles, (760) 241-2911 or the We-Tip Hotline, 1-800-78CRIME (27463), if you have any information about this investigation.
