Man in painter's clothing robs Lodi bank

A man in paint-spattered coveralls robbed a Lodi bank Monday, threatening that he had an explosive and a gun, police said.

The man got away with an undisclosed amount of cash, and nobody was injured in the incident at F&M Bank, 1020 W. Kettleman Lane.

Surveillance photos showed the man, who entered around 12:43 p.m., demanding that a teller place cash in a plastic bag, police said.

He wore dark blue, long-sleeved coveralls with paint spattered on them, over a gray shirt. He also wore a black baseball cap with sunglasses, and had a thin mustache.

Police believe the thin man is about 5-feet, 8-inches tall, white or light-skinned Hispanic, in his late 40s to 50s. He left the bank and ran east.

Anyone with information may contact Lodi Police Detective Eric Bradley at 333-6727. Anonymous callers may contact Lodi-Area Crimestoppers at 333-6771.
