Los Angeles Police Department officers and agents with the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office responded to the robbery, but the eluded law enforcement. The Culver City Police Department also assisted in the investigation.

According to police, witnesses described the suspect as an African American man between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet 1 inches tall, weighing between 160 and 180 pounds. He is between 45 and 50 years old, and was wearing jeans, a black “doo-rag” and a white jersey-style shirt with a burgundy stripe on each sleeve.

Based on the suspect’s method of operation and witness description, investigators have linked the incident to two other robberies: one on Nov. 8 at City National Bank at 525 Flower St. and another on Nov. 9 at OneWest, 5573 Sepulveda Blvd.

“At this time no suspect has been arrested, and investigators believe it is one suspect for all three robberies,” FBI public affairs specialist Ari Dekofsky said.

Residents with information about the robberies are advised to call 9-1-1 or contact the FBI Los Angeles Field Office at (310)477-6565.
