East West Bank Robbed at Gunpoint

Police are searching for two suspects who held up a Fremont bank last week, according to media reports.

The Fremont Argus reported Tuesday that two male suspects, one armed with a semi-automatic handgun, robbed the East West bank branch located at 34420 Fremont Blvd. Friday at about 10:26 a.m.

One of the suspects hopped over a counter and took money before fleeing north with an undisclosed amount of cash, police told the newspaper.

The armed suspect was described as a Hispanic or black male between 5-foot-2 and 5-foot-6  with a skinny build, wide nose and thin mustache. He was wearing dark pants, black tennis shoes with a white sole and a hooded sweatshirt with white letters, possibly an Abercrombie & Fitch or Aeropostale, according to the Argus report.

The other suspect was seen wearing a maroon hoodie with black sleeves, dark pants, black shoes and a ski-mask.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Fremont Police Department at 510-790-6800.
