Bank robbery suspect still at large

OCEANSIDE — A bank robbery suspect whose photo was caught on a surveillance camera is still at large Aug. 3. 

At about 4:30 p.m. on July 26, a man with a demand note approached a Citi Bank teller and made a motion indicating that he had a gun.

Oceanside police responded to the robbery that took place at the Citi Bank branch at 4120 Oceanside Blvd. when a 911 call was received.

The suspect, who is described as a 6 foot tall Samoan or light skinned Hispanic man with brown hair in a short pony-tail, age 35 to 40, fled the scene before police arrived.

Police released a surveillance photo of the suspect in order to locate him.

“We hope someone will recognize him and come forward with information,” Detective T.J. Dunn said.

The suspect is presumed to have left by vehicle.

The dollar amount taken from the bank has not been disclosed.

Anyone with further information is asked to call Detective Dunn at (760) 435-4054.
