San Diego County Crime Stoppers and investigators from the San Marcos Sheriff’s Station are asking for the public’s help in identifying and locating a suspect responsible for an attempted robbery in San Marcos.

On May 4 around 8:00 a.m., a woman was trying to withdraw money from the Wells Fargo Bank ATM located in the 1000 block of West San Marcos Boulevard.  During the transaction, a man approached the woman, demanded money and pointed a concealed beverage bottle he had on the right side of his jacket.  The manner in which the bottle was concealed made it appear like it was a weapon. 

The woman feared for her life and drove away from the robbery attempt.  Surveillance video captured images of the suspect.

The suspect is described as a White or Hispanic man between 20 and 25-years-old.  He stands between 5’9” and 5’11” tall and weighs between 150 and 160 pounds.  The suspect was wearing a black cap with an orange “SF” logo, a black hooded jacket with a “True Religion” logo on the back, blue jeans, white Nike Air Force One sneakers and a black “MCM” backpack.

Anyone with information on the identity or location of the suspect can call the San Marcos Sheriff’s Station at (760) 510-5200.

You can also call the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at (888) 580-8477.

Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to an arrest in this case.  Visit the Crime Stoppers website at www.sdcrimestoppers.org for more information on how to send anonymous web and mobile app tips.
