Help Identify the Suspect in Santee Bank Robbery

A man who claimed to have a concealed gun threatened to shoot a teller Tuesday while robbing a Santee bank.

The dark-haired, roughly 6-foot man who appeared to be about 40, entered the branch office in the 9900 block of Mission Gorge Road about 10:45 a.m., approached a cashier and demanded money, according to the FBI.

After the bandit issued the threat, the teller handed over an undisclosed amount of money. The robber then walked out of the bank, got into the passenger side of a maroon full-sized pickup truck without a tailgate and was driven out of the area.

The thief was wearing an orange button-down shirt, dark waist-length jacket and dark-colored baseball cap, the FBI reported. No weapon was seen.

The FBI and San Diego Sheriff’s Department are seeking the public’s assistance to identify the suspect seen in the attached surveilance video still photos.
