Pima County sheriff's deputies are asking the public for help in identifying a man linked to a bank robbery on Tucson's northwest side Monday.

Deputies responded to U.S. Bank, 7110 N. Oracle Road, at East Ina Road at about noon to reports of a robbery, said Deputy Ryan Inglett, a spokesman for the sheriff's department.

A man entered Safeway, which is where the bank is located, and handed the teller a bag and demanded cash from the drawer. The teller handed the cash to the robber and he left the bank, said Inglett.

The robber, which was captured on a surveillance camera, was described as a white man in his 40s. He is about 6 feet tall and has a medium build.

He was last seen wearing a dark baseball cap over a ski hat. He wore sunglasses, a white-button-down long-sleeved shirt, and dark pants, Inglett said.

Robbery assault detectives believe the man also committed a robbery at the bank Dec. 9, 2016.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911, or 88-CRIME, an anonymous tipster hotline.Β
