Well-dressed elderly man robs Calif. bank

LA JOLLA, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a well-dressed elderly man carrying an oxygen tank has robbed a bank in the San Diego suburb of La Jolla.

San Diego police Sgt. Ray Battrick says the suspect today presented a note demanding money to a teller at the San Diego National Bank. He fled with an unknown amount of cash.

Battrick says it’s unclear whether the suspect had a weapon.

The robber is described as a tall man in his 70s with white hair, a gray mustache and glasses. He was wearing a white beret, argyle sweater and brown sports jacket.

Battrick says the oxygen tank was in a black bag and connected to the man’s nose with plastic tubing.
