A man robbed a Chase Bank branch in Cloverdale on Friday afternoon, snatching an undisclosed amount of cash before calmly strolling mere blocks away from the city Police Department.

The suspect entered the South Cloverdale Boulevard bank around ?1:20 p.m. Cloverdale Police Sgt. Rudy Segobiano declined to disclose whether the man brandished a gun or implied that he had a weapon without showing it, stating that such information could jeopardize attempts to identify the suspect.

The man was last seen “walking calmly” westbound on First Street, police said. No one was injured in the robbery and police said they arrived within minutes.

The suspect is described as a white man in his 30s; about 6 feet tall with a mustache. He was wearing a dark-colored parka-type jacket; a dark-billed ball cap with “VA” or upside down “V’ logo; dark-rimmed glasses, tan pants and dark-colored shoes.

Police asked anyone with information on the crime to call the Cloverdale Police Department at 707-894-2150.
