On Jan. 18 at approximately 5:40 p.m. an adult male entered the Wells Fargo Bank at 1715 A Street and approached a teller. The man handed the teller a handwritten note demanding all of the money.

The teller alerted other bank employees of the robbery attempt and the man fled the bank on foot and into a nearby residential neighborhood where he began to jump fences. Officers briefly located a man that fit the general description of the responsible, but upon attempted contact he fled over fences.

After an extensive search with K-9s and a helicopter, the suspect was not located. The bank did not suffer any loss in this robbery attempt and no weapon was seen or mentioned.

The suspect was described at a black male adult in his mid 20s. He was approximately 5-feet-7 with a medium build. He had a short 1-to-2inch afro type hairstyle and some facial hair. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black sweatpants and sunglasses.

If anyone has any information regarding this robbery attempt, please contact the Antioch Police Investigations Unit at 925-779-6926/7.
