Bank robber photos released
MONROVIA -- Authorities have released a picture of a man who attempted to rob a bank earlier this week.
The incident was reported shortly before 6 p.m. at the Bank of America, 230 S. Myrtle Avenue, Monrovia police Sgt. Tom Wright said.
The robber left empty-handed after a teller activated an alarm, Wright said.
The robber tried to rob the bank by passing a demand note to the teller, he said.
No one was hurt in the incident, he added.
Officials in other agencies may be investigating the same man for other bank robberies, Wright said.
He was described as an Asian or Latino man wearing a black cap and gray sweat shirt, the sergeant added.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Monrovia Police Department at (626) 256-8000.
Also published by the FBI this week was a photo of a man who robbed an Arcadia East West Bank on Christmas Eve.
Anyone with information on the Arcadia crime is asked to call Arcadia police at (626) 574-5150.
