LA MESA BANKS HIT HARD THIS WEEK

La Mesa Chief Police Alan Lanning said the two banks that were robbed on March ten could be related. The Washington Mutual Bank, in Grossmont Center was robbed March ten at 10:16 a.m. by a lone suspect. The La Mesa Police, El Cajon Police and the FBI believe this is the same suspect that robbed a Union Bank an hour and a half later at 776 Fletcher Parkway in El Cajon. The suspect was described as a white male, early 20s, short brown hair, 5'7", medium to thin build, with a goatee, wearing a baseball cap, Pendleton-type long sleeve shirt and blue jeans.
In both cases, the suspect presented a demand note to the teller and left the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash. The suspect displayed no weapons and no suspect vehicle was seen in either case. Anyone with information regarding these robberies should contact La
Mesa Police Detective Runge at (619) 667-1439, the El Cajon Police Department (619) 579-3311, or the F.B.I. at (858) 565-1255.
