BAKERSFIELD BANK ROBBER ON THE LOOSE

Bakersfield Police are looking for the man who held up the Citi Bank on the corner of Oswell and Bernard streets in east Bakersfield.

Sgt. Gary Carruesco says the suspect walked into the bank just after noon on Thursday and informed a teller he was robbing it. She did not see a gun but handed over the money. The robber walked away and no suspects have been identified.

That same bank was robbed last May, also by a man in a Yankees baseball hat, but that thief was later caught and prosecuted.
