Pima County sheriff's detectives believe a man who robbed a bank in the Tucson area today also robbed the same bank in 2015. They're asking for public help in identifying him.
A Sheriff's Department spokeswoman, Deputy Courtney Rodriguez, gave the following account in a news release:
Today at about 11:45 a.m. deputies with the San Xavier Patrol District responded to a bank robbery at the Wells Fargo inside a Safeway store at 2940 W. Valencia Road.Β
The robber was described as Hispanic with a light complexion, a mustache and light brown eyes. He was middle aged, approximately 5β 8β tall, and had a heavy build. He was last seen wearing a black hat with yellow writing or symbol on it, a blue denim shirt, jeans, black shoes, and prescription glasses.
No one was injured during the incident. The robber implied a weapon as he demanded money from bank employees.
Detectives believe this is the same man who robbed the same bank on Sept. 11 of last year. Anyone with information on him is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME.
