San Mateo Police Seek Suspect in Bank Robbery

The robbery occurred at a Chase Bank on Thursday morning.

The San Mateo Police Department is looking for a man suspected of robbing a Chase Bank late Thursday morning, police said Friday.

Officers responded to the bank at 1730 South El Camino Real just before 11 a.m. and were told by bank employees a robbery had taken place, San Mateo Police Sgt. Dave Norris said.

The suspect, an unshaven white man in his 30s, fled with an undisclosed amount of money before the police arrived, according to Norris.

No weapons were seen and no injuries were reported.

Authorities searched for the suspect, described as 6 feet tall and wearing blue running pants and a light-colored baseball cap, but did not locate him.

Anyone with information about the crime is urged to contact San Mateo police:

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
