El Dorado County – Wells Fargo is offering a $25,000 reward for useful information in a robbery of its Cameron Park bank branch that occurred last month in El Dorado County. The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department in a mid-August release said the Wells Fargo at 3440 Palmer Drive in Cameron Park was robbed at gunpoint by three males at 10:05 a.m. on Thursday, August 19th. Authorities said no one in the bank was injured during the robbery. El Dorado Sheriff’s Lieutenant Bryan Golmitz in the release said witnesses describing the incident said “two suspects entered the bank,” and “one was carrying what appears to be an assault rifle and began shouting at those inside the bank to get on the ground.” The second suspect reportedly “jumped over the counter and demanded money,” and the “third suspect stood at the front door of the bank as the robbery took place.” Golmitz said the “suspects fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of money,” got into “a late model Honda 4 door sedan and left the area.” El Dorado County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the area and located the suspects’ vehicle abandoned in a neighborhood that was approximately a mile from the bank. Deputies searched the surrounding area without locating the suspects. They contacted several residents who noted that two males were seen exiting the suspect vehicle and entered a white Geo Prism, which then left the area. The three suspects are described as males possibly in their 20s. Ethnicity cannot be established at this time due to clothing and covering, which the suspects wore during the robbery. The suspects were last seen wearing hooded sweatshirts, some sort of covering over their faces, and jeans. Preliminary investigation suggests that the suspect’s vehicle, which they abandoned, was possibly carjacked out of Oakland this week. The El Dorado Hills Telegraph online reported that it was the second armed robbery at the Bel Air shopping center since a February armed robbery of a check-cashing business. The Telegraph reported that Wells Fargo Bank “is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for an armed robbery of its Cameron Park branch.” The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office at (530) 621-6600. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
