During the First National robbery in Daly City, the man allegedly asked the teller for hundreds without "the exploding dye pack."

SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA - A suspect sought by police and the FBI for a bank robbery in Daly City last month surrendered over the weekend and appeared in court on Tuesday, prosecutors said.

Nadeem Kaher Deisieh, 19, turned himself in to a security guard at the Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton on Saturday and said he was the suspect who robbed the First National Bank at 6600 Mission St. in Daly City on May 18, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office.

Prosecutors said Deisieh handed a bank teller a note at about 9:30 a.m. that said, "Give me all the hundreds. Not the exploding dye pack. B---h."
