ECPD looking for bank robbery suspect
The El Centro Police Department is on the lookout for a person they say robbed a bank this past weekend.
On Saturday at approximately 2:20 pm, officers from ECPD got a call about a bank robbery at the Chase Bank on North Imperial Avenue. A Hispanic male in his mid-20’s, described as having a light complexion, approximately 5’6” and 120 pounds entered the bank and provided a teller with a demand note and proceeded to rob the bank, according to ECPD.
Officers said the suspect was wearing a blue or purple baseball cap with unidentified wording on the front panel, a maroon polo shirt with a tan collar and a tan stripe along the end of each sleeve, dark colored pants with black and white shoes.
ECPD said the suspect was last seen exiting the bank through the north doors and into the parking lot. Employees and patrons were not injured during the incident and no weapons were seen or brandished.
Any tips or information in this case will be extremely valuable and calls may be directed to Detective Adrian Chilpa at (760)335-4662. No further information is available for release at this time.
