Antioch Police

On May 22, the Antioch Police Department responded to a report of Chase Bank being robbed.

According to Corporal Steve McElroy, the bank robbery occurred at 3:36pm at Chase Bank in the 3200 block of Delta Fair Blvd in the City of Antioch.

Bank employees reported that a male in his 40’s, with a medium build approached one of the tellers inside the bank. When the teller attempted to provide service to him, he demanded that the teller hand over the money she had and threatened that he was armed with a gun.

McElroy says no gun was ever seen and the suspect fled the bank on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to call the Antioch Police Department non-emergency line at (925) 778-2441. You may also text a tip to 274637 (CRIMES) using key word Antioch.

Hmm, kind of a vague description. Seems like something is being left out….

You’re right. No mention of race.

OH yeah, I’ve seen about 1000 males around 40 with medium build already this morning… Where do we start?? Something is NOT right here. I mean really that’s it on the description…. Clothes?? shoes?? RACE??? hair color, eye color?? Who wrote this story?

But you can’t hear (not here) what we say. You can only read what we write. Back on with the training wheels for you.

Dg is clearly a derelict. I’m using big words, because the moron didn’t get much edumacation in prison. I think he might need his Big Wheel instead.

The teller will get fired and shareholders will get a bonus. ‘Merica!

If race was not disclosed, this was a white guy.

I think it’s odd to leave out the race. How can you not notice? Are they being politically correct, or non-observant?

Jimbo May 23, 2018 - 11:24 am

Of course we can no longer advise race?!?! Might as well describe as: A Male Human Being.

Oh, NO. Now like sfgate.com, eastcountytoday is too PC to give the Race. You know what, if you can’t do that, then drop any description at all. On another note, I wonder if that bank has changed its set up. When I was last there a few years back, then tellers sit at a desk on a dropped down floor. No partition or anything. I even thought back then, how bad that is for them. A robber can just look down on them and stick a gun right in their face, literely. If it’s still like that, I’m surprised any teller would want to work there in this day and age. BofA on 18th street installed a barrier at the teller’s booth a long time ago. I remember before they had the barrier, I came in right at 9 when they opened and there were bundles of cash ALL OVER in the back of the teller’s booth’s. They had not yet put the money in the cash drawers for the day. If the Regional Manager would have known that, then the bank manager might have been fired. If I had been a robber, I would have been in HEAVEN!

Actually Jeff, we have made a request to APD for the race and more of a description — as of 12:51 pm, no response. Sadly, if any police department puts out a bank robbery press release, they should consider including a photograph. Unclear why they don’t. Seems counter productive to give minimal description.

George May 23, 2018 - 9:27 pm

Maybe they had a good lead on this suspect and didn’t want to give out too much information to the public until they follow up on things.

Of course it was a brother!

No need for description. Insurance will cover the losses. No one hurt, no gun used. In Antioch you might as well say the bank had a mishap, and leave it at that.
