Two banks in Temecula were hit by robbers this week, but different suspects pulled off the heists, according to police.
In the first hold-up, a black male walked into the U.S. Bank Vons Office at 29530 Rancho California Road Thursday evening and gave a teller a note demanding cash.
The teller gave the man an undisclosed amount of money and no one was hurt during the robbery.
The robber wasn’t carrying any visible weapons and was able to escape capture.
He is described as a black male, approximately 30 years old, 6 feet tall, and weighing between 200 and 225 pounds.
He was wearing blue jeans, a navy and white San Diego Padres baseball jersey with #31 and Winfield on the back, and a tan and navy San Diego Padres baseball hat.
, a man got away with a stash of money after he threatened a teller with a phony bomb on Saturday.
The robbery occurred around 1:15 p.m. at the U.S. Bank located at 31990 Temecula Parkway.
In that robbery, the man walked into the bank, put a brown paper bag on the counter and told the teller a bomb was inside.
After the teller handed over the cash, the man escaped on foot and no one was hurt during the robbery.
The robber is described as a thin Hispanic male, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, between 20 and 30 years old with black hair, a black mustache and wearing a black hat and sunglasses.
