FBI, Alameda Police Seek Bank Robbery Suspect Armed with Handgun

The FBI and police in Alameda are hoping the public can help identify a suspect who robbed a bank earlier this month and should be considered armed and dangerous.

On April 7, the suspect robbed the Wells Fargo Bank at 2260 Otis Drive in Alameda. FBI officials said witnesses described the suspect as a black man approximately 40 years old who is 5 feet 6 inches tall with a thin build, weighing about 150 pounds. He was allegedly armed with a silver semi-automatic handgun.

The suspect was last seen wearing sunglasses, a light-colored baseball cap, a camouflage patterned long-sleeved shirt, an orange reflective vest, dark colored pants and dark shoes. He also wore black gloves, a large watch on his left wrist and a studded earring in his left ear, according to the FBI.

Anyone with information regarding the suspect’s identity or whereabouts is urged to contact Alameda police at (510) 337-8340 or the FBI San Francisco area office at (415) 553-7400. Tips can also be submitted at tips.fbi.gov.
