Suspect sought in Garden Grove US Bank robbery

GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (KABC) -- Garden Grove police released surveillance photos of a bank robbery suspect, and they want the public's help to identify him.

Authorities said the incident happened around 10:45 a.m. at a U.S. Bank inside a Vons grocery store in the 11800 block of Valley View Street.

The suspect is described as a man between 30 and 40 years old, 6 feet 1 inch tall, between 150 and 170 pounds. He has brown hair and a small goatee.
