San Francisco police are pretty ecstatic to announce they've busted a bank robber who they say ripped off money from a Mission Street bank earlier this week.
Officer Albie Esparza says police arrested Fernando Sylvestry, 53 of San Francisco, on suspicion of burglary, robbery, and a narcotics violation.
On Monday at about 3:30 pm., police were called to a bank located on the 2500 block of Mission Street. Police say the robber casually walked into the bank and handed the teller a demand note.
The teller handed him back the money; the robber fled the scene, and in the process was captured on the bank's surveillance cameras.
Those images helped lead police to Sylvestry. The following day, police spotted Sylvestry as he walked along the 2200 block of Mission Street -- not too far from the crime scene.
Sylvestry was arrested without incident and booked into County Jail.
