20 year old arrested in Wells Fargo bank robbery

Roseville Police detectives have arrested a 20-year-old Roseville man on suspicion of robbing a bank, and of falsely reporting an emergency.  Detectives believe the suspected bank robber called 911 about 15 minutes before the bank robbery, to falsely report an emergency on the other side of town from the bank.

At approximately 10:10 a.m. Tuesday morning, February 7, the Wells Fargo Bank at 8850 Sierra College Blvd. was robbed.  The robber entered the bank, gave a clerk a note demanding money, took an undisclosed amount of cash and left, last seen fleeing on foot.  The note mentioned a gun, but no weapon was seen, and no one reported being injured.
