Police Arrest Suspect In Daly City Bank Robbery
DALY CITY (CBS SF/BCN) – Police arrested a 55-year-old San Pablo man with multiple prior bank robbery convictions suspected of robbing a bank in Daly City last week, San Mateo County prosecutors said Thursday.
Cleophas Kirksey was arrested following the robbery reported at about 2:30 p.m. on Feb. 10 at a Wells Fargo bank inside the Lucky Supermarkets store on Mission Street, according to the District Attorney's Office.
In the robbery, the suspect handed a note to a teller saying "Give me all your large bills; I don't want 20s," then fled after receiving stacks of $50 and $100 bills, prosecutors said.
Kirksey was on federal felony probation and his probation officer identified him as the suspect. He was arrested five days later at his home, where authorities found stacks of $50 and $100 bills and the clothing he allegedly wore during the robbery, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Kirksey made his initial appearance in court Wednesday to face robbery and burglary charges. He pleaded not guilty and was ordered held in jail on $1 million bail, with a preliminary hearing set for March 3, prosecutors said.
