Police Release Photos of San Rafael Bank Robber

San Rafael police released photos of a suspect who robbed the Westamerica Bank on 1177 Francisco Blvd. earlier this month.

On Jan. 4 at 5:12 p.m. according to police spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher. He fled on foot after receiving the cash.

"No weapon was seen or mentioned," Rohrbacher said.

The suspect was described as a white male in his 30s, between 5 feet 6 inches and 6 feet 1 inch, 160 to 200 pounds with a muscular build. He was unshaven with one to two days growth of beard and wearing a black beanie, black sunglasses and a black hooded sweatshirt. 

The photos with just the beanie were taken outside the bank prior to the crime and those with the hood up were taken during the robbery.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call San Rafael Police at (415) 485-3000 or Crime Stoppers at (800) 222.8477. Callers can remain anonymous. Tips can be made online at www.bayareacrimestoppers.org.

This is the second burglary in San Rafael in the past month. On Dec. 22,  police arrested 37-year-old Jeremiah Clyde Martin on suspicion of robbing the Citibank at 666 Third Street two days before.
