San Jose: Bank robber sought by police

SAN JOSE – Authorities are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who robbed a bank in San Jose last month.

The robbery was reported about 1:15 p.m. March 17 at the U.S. Bank at 1099 Lincoln Ave., said San Jose police Sgt. Enrique Garcia in a news release Monday. The suspect entered the bank, passed a note to a teller and left with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Garcia said the suspect was described as a white man in his 20s, 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall and thin. The suspect also had reddish brown hair and was last seen wearing a black hat with the word “security” emblazoned on the front, aviator-style sunglasses, a black Adidas hooded sweatshirt, dark-colored jeans and dark-colored shoes.

The suspect’s getaway vehicle was described as a gray 2010 to 2013 Kia Soul with noticeable damage to the left front fender and left rear passenger door, Garcia said. The license plate possibly begins with “7W” or “7M” and possibly ends with “573” or “577.”

Anyone with information about the suspect or getaway vehicle can contact Detective Todd Wellman at 408-277-4166, or leave a tip with Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers at 408-947-7867 or at svcrimestoppers.org.
