The El Dorado Savings Bank in Georgetown, Calif., was robbed at gunpoint by an unknown man on Monday, March 21. 2016 at 12:49 p.m.
The suspect is identified as being a white male adult, was wearing blue jeans, blue rain coat and a San Francisco 49ers ball cap. He was armed with a black pistol and seen leaving the area in a red Dodge Durango, most likely a 2004-09 model.
El Dorado County Sheriff's deputies, detectives and CSI personnel, along with allied law enforcement, responded to the bank and interviewed numerous employees, customers and witnesses.
Investigators are looking into the possibility that the man who committed the robbery is a Northern California bank robbery suspect dubbed "The Bad Breath Bandit." In Durham, Los Molinos, Nevada City and Grass Valley, a man who wore the same type of mask was responsible for four bank robberies in 2014. They are looking into several other similarities.
Anyone with information about this most recent robbery in Georgetown is encouraged to contact Sheriff’s Dispatch at 530-621-6600, reference case #EG16-2526.
