CRIME STOPPER OF THE WEEK

Bank Robbery

On January 13, 2004 at around 4:30 p.m., a bank robbery occurred at the Bank of the West located at 2210 Business Circle in west San Jose. The suspect approached the teller and showed her a typed note that stated that the suspect had a weapon. No weapon was seen. After the teller gave him the cash from her drawer, the suspect said, “I’m sorry.” He walked out of the bank, got in a gray car and drove westbound on Elliot Street. He was described as a mixed race male, possibly Asian or white. He was in his mid 30’s, about 6’ tall, 200 lbs., with medium complexion and build. He was wearing a maroon beanie and a gray long sleeve shirt. The suspect may also be responsible for other robberies in San Jose and the Monterey Bay area.
