Was he mad his team was eliminated from the playoffs? Looking for a way to strike back at Northern California in general? Who knows, but Elk Grove police are looking for a mysterious Cincinnati Reds fan who robbed two Elk Grove banks in as many days.
The department said a man wearing a Reds baseball cap robbed the Schools Credit Union on Laguna Boulevard at 5:13 p.m. Thursday and the Golden 1 Credit Union on Bruceville Road at 11:32 a.m. Friday. In both cases, the suspect handed a teller a note demanding money, police said in a press release.
A witness saw a white Mazda 3 hatchback with custom rims leaving the scene of the first robbery, according to the press release.
Here's how police described the suspect, as well as information on providing tips:
