At about 1:29pm Thursday afternoon, Turlock Police responded to a hold-up alarm at F&M Bank in the 2300 block of Geer Road.

While officers were enroute, they got a call from the bank reporting an attempted armed robbery had just occurred.

The suspect reportedly fled the scene eastbound on E. Tuolumne Road on a white dirt bike with no license plates attached to it.

He was described as a light-complexion Hispanic male in his twenties with light brown hair, standing 5′ 10″ tall, weighing 120lbs. He was last seen wearing a black full ski mask, big black puffer jacket, black gloves, and light blue jeans.

Officers checked the area, but were unable to locate anything.

An officer who was on duty at the time but not on the call heard the description and recognized it to be similar to another armed robbery the sheriff’s office had responded to just two days prior.

At about 4:15am Tuesday morning, Stanislaus County Sheriff’s had responded to an armed robbery that had just occurred at the Quik Stop in the 4200 block of Main Street in Denair.

When deputies had arrived on scene, they learned that a masked suspect with a firearm had demanded money from the clerk, before fleeing the scene with an undisclosed amount of money, also on a white dirt bike with no plates.

No injuries were reported during either of the two incidents.

The investigations remain ongoing.
