Bank Robbery Reported In Sonoma: Police

Breaking: The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office says the suspected robber was last seen walking on Broadway, away from Rabobank.

SONOMA COUNTY, CA -- A bank robbery occurred Tuesday in Sonoma, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office. Authorities say the robbery was reported shortly after noon at Rabobank, 10 Maple St., and that the suspect was last seen walking southbound on Broadway, away from Rabobank.

After reviewing surveillance images from the bank, sheriff's detectives believe the alleged robber is possibly a Hispanic man, rather than a black man as initially described, in his early- to mid-30s. The suspect is about 5 feet 9 or 5 feet 10 inches tall and was wearing a dark-colored baseball cap, a mesh mask over his face, and a long-sleeved olive green T-shirt with a dark-colored wings and stars design on the front, police said.

The sheriff's office asked anyone in the public who knows or sees someone matching the suspect's photo (above) to immediately call 911.
