A South Tucson Chase Bank branch was robbed Friday afternoon β€” the second time within two weeks.

At 2:40 p.m., South Tucson Police Department officers responded to Chase Bank at 1818 S. Sixth Avenue to a report of a robbery.

The bank is on the northwest corner of South Sixth Avenue and West 29th Street.

When officers arrived, they learned that a man entered the bank and verbally demanded money from a teller, said Lt. Jeff Inorio, a police department spokesman.

The robber implied he had a weapon, and he left the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash, Inorio said.

Surveillance cameras captured the man on video. He was described as Hispanic and in his late 40s. He was 5 feet 8 inches tall and had a medium build.

The man was wearing a blue T-shirt, dark colored basketball shorts and a red baseball cap with a logo on the front. He also was wearing sunglasses.

Detectives ask that anyone with information call 911 or 88-CRIME.

In addition, Inorio also said that a suspect was arrested Friday in an unrelated robbery at the same bank two weeks ago. Aaron John Rogers, 40, was booked into the Pima County jail on suspicion of bank robbery.
