When the U.S. Bank on Balboa Avenue was robbed Tuesday morning, an alert went out describing the suspect as a man in his 60's.
The bank, located at 5407 Balboa Avenue, was robbed around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday according to San Diego police. The suspect showed a handgun and demanded cash police said.
Witnesses told police the suspect, last seen leaving on foot in an unknown direction, was between 60 to 70 years old - a similar description to the so-called Geezer Bandit.
Police updated the description of the U.S. Bank robbery suspect saying he has a medium build, grey curly hair, appeared to be 55 to 60 years old, 5'10", unshaven and wearing a dark blue long sleeve shirt without a collar, light blue jeans, a two-tone baseball hat police said.
