Local bank robbed  

Bookmark and Share
A man robbed the Chase Bank at 2510 W. El Camino Real on Tuesday, according to police.

No weapon was seen during the robbery, which occurred at about 5:55 p.m., Feb. 19, according to Mountain View police spokesman, Sgt. Sean Thompson. No one was injured, he said.

The robber, described as a white man in his late 30s, under 6 feet tall, of average build and wearing dark colored clothing and sunglasses, walked into the bank as tellers and other employees were preparing to close for the day. He walked up to one of the tellers and demanded money. It is unclear whether he said he was armed.

The teller handed over an undisclosed sum of money and the man was last seen walking west through the bank's parking lot.

Did the perp have an accent? What color and length hair? Please post a better description so we can be on the look out.

Banks need to have an armed guard in plain view at all times, they have the money to support this, they sure don't pay any interest to their customers.

Actually, banks do not really need armed guards.

Robbing a bank anymore is pointless and will only yield a small amount of cash.

The risks of robbing a bank are just not worth the payoff.
