Sheriff's Office Wants Public's Help in Bank Robbery Near Cupertino's Town Center Wednesday

The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in providing witness information connected to the robbery a U.S. Bank Wednesday afternoon.

The Sheriff's Office said that on Wednesday, at about 2:42pm, two men sentered the US Bank located in the 10000 Block of De Anza Boulevard in Cupertino near town center, and took an undisclosed amount of money.

No weapon was seen during the robbery. The male suspects fled the area on foot in an unknown direction. 

Police, who are still going through images on the surveillance cameras, are not releasing complete suspect descriptions at this time, said Sheriff's Deputy Kurt Stenderup. They are, however, hoping that the public will assist with any details they might have witnessed.


"The area is busy enough at that time of day that people probably saw something," Stenderup said. If anyone saw anything suspicious at that time, he encouraged the public to contact law enforcement.

"You'd be surprised," Stenderup said, "you see something and think 'That's weird,' and then blow it off— but it could be a detail sheriff's deputies can use." 

Anyone with information or anyone who may have witnessed this incident is being asked to contact Detective Sergeants Paula McAllister or Dave Roberts at the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office at (408) 808-4500 or the anonymous tip line at (408) 808-4431.
