Man Uses Gun in MB Bank Robbery

A man with a gun robbed U.S. Bank in Manhattan Village of an undisclosed amount of cash Friday afternoon.

The Manhattan Beach Police Department received a call of the robbery at 1:01 p.m.

The suspect, described as a white male with a small build, about 5' 7" to 5' 8" and weighing around 160 lbs., with salt and pepper hair and a light goatee, passed the teller a note and showed a gun, said MBPD Sgt. Steve Kitsios.

The man was seen leaving the scene possibly on a red beach cruiser bicycle.

MBPD and surrounding police agencies responded, checking out the area and the Green Line but did not find the suspect.

MBPD has obtained video from the bank, which is closed for the remainder of Friday and is expected to re-open Saturday for its usual 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. hours.
