Atascadero bank robber may have attempted earlier robbery
An unidentified man robbed Union Bank in Atascadero on Friday, police said.
The robber walked into the bank at 7199 El Camino Real around 1:45 p.m. and handed a teller a note, according to Atascadero police. He got away with an unknown amount of cash.
No weapon was seen or mentioned, police said.
The man was wearing a fake beard and mustache and was carrying a black binder. He was last seen walking south onto El Camino Real.
Police described him as 26 to 31 years old, 6-foot-1-inch tall and about 180 lbs. He was wearing black or dark blue jeans or pants, a long sleeve white pullover shirt with horizontal stripes and sunglasses.
Police suspect the same man attempted to rob a bank in Carpinteria in Santa Barbara County earlier Friday. The bank manager there confronted the robber and he fled without any money.
