El Cerrito police are looking for a suspect who they say robbed a bank of "several hundred thousand dollars" and is considered “armed and dangerous.”
The man walked into the US Bank on Monday just after 10:30 a.m., police said, by entering through a Safeway store where the bank branch is located.
The man handed the teller a demand note asking for money. The teller complied, filling “several bags with cash,” police said.
The suspect is described as African-American, standing five-foot-eight, weighing 150 pounds and wearing a baseball hat.
Anyone with information about the identity or location of the suspect is urged to contact the El Cerrito Police Department at (510) 215-4400 or email investigations@ci.el-cerrito.ca.us. There is a reward for information leading to the arrest.
