Merced police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a robber who struck a Union Bank branch Monday. Police released photos of the suspect late Tuesday. They show a light-skinned man wearing a black button-down shirt, sunglasses and a black baseball hat. Authorities are describing him as a Latino in his mid-20s, about 5-foot-8 and 155 pounds.
Anyone with information on the robbery should call Det. Joe Deliman at (209) 385-6992, or the Merced Police Department’s anonymous tip line at (209) 385-4725.
No one was hurt in the robbery, which happened around 12:30 p.m. Monday at a Union Bank branch inside the Save Mart supermarket at the corner Olive Avenue and G Street.
Submitted photo - Police are looking for this man, shown here in bank surveillance footage, who they say robbed the Union Bank located inside Save Mart at 150 W. Olive Ave.
Police aren’t saying how much money the robber made off with. He presented a note to a teller saying he had a gun, though he never showed a weapon.
