SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — Authorities reached out to the public Thursday for help in identifying a man suspected of robbing a Carlsbad bank last week.
The robbery happened Oct. 1 around 3:45 p.m. at a bank in the 6900 block of El Camino Real, Carlsbad police spokeswoman Jodee Reyes said.
The suspect, believed to be in his mid-20s, entered the bank wearing a blue surgical mask and demanded cash from the clerk, Reyes said. The man referred to a gun during the robbery, but a firearm was not seen.
After the clerk complied, the man exited the branch with an undisclosed amount of cash and was last seen running northbound toward Dove Lane, she said. No injuries were reported.
