Cops: Burlingame Bank Robbery Suspect Wore Frilly Scarf, Claimed to Have Bomb

Police are hoping someone may recognize the man seen pictured here.

Police in Burlingame continue their search Sunday for a man they say robbed a bank Saturday afternoon, and fled on foot on El Camino Real. 

According to Corp. David Perna, at about 12:40 p.m., the lone suspect entered the Bank of America located at 400 El Camino Real in Burlingame, and presented the teller with a note. 

The note stated that the suspect had a gun and a bomb and demanded money. Video surveillance photos show the suspect wearing sunglasses, a green cap, multi-colored shirt, and what appears to be a woman's frilly blue scarf around his neck.

He is described as a white man in his 40s, 5-feet, 6-inches tall, and bald. Police said no one at the bank reported seeing a weapon, and no one was injured. 

The suspect left the bank after receiving an undisclosed amount of cash.
