The SAPD is trying to identify an ATM robbery suspect

On May 12, 2020, at approximately 2:56 pm, a victim was withdrawing money from the ATM, at 1317 W. Warner Avenue, Santa Ana, and he placed his wallet on the counter while he conducted his transaction.

While this was occurring, a white BMW X5 SUV (the above pictured vehicle) pulled into a parking stall behind the victim.

The above pictured suspect exited the right front passenger seat and approached the victim while armed with a knife. The suspect demanded all of the victim’s money, and also grabbed the victim’s wallet off the counter at the same time. The victim fled the location and the suspect entered the BMW SUV and drove away. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective D. Prewett at (714) 245-8323 / DPrewett@santa-ana.org or Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1-855-TIP-OCCS
