SAN MATEO (Map, News) - An unarmed man robbed a bank in Millbrae on Wednesday, the second such occurrence in the city within three days, police said.

A man dressed in black with a black bag robbed a Comerica Bank on 49 El Camino Real at 4:15 p.m., Sgt. John Aronis said. The man walked up to the teller, presented a demand note and walked out of the bank with an undisclosed amount of money, he said.

Witnesses did not see a weapon and the man did not have his face covered, and the bank had security cameras, Aronis said. Witnesses saw the man, described as white and in his mid- to late-20s, hop a rail by the bank and possibly head west on Chadbourne Avenue toward Magnolia Avenue, he said.

Was there a security guard? If no security guard, why not? If no security guard, then get a clue and get one.

Thats great that an armed citizen that had a handgun permit to hold off that robber until police arrived...that why you always want protection..you never know whats going to happen anywhere anytime.........There should be a nation wide permit that a person could get, rather than go through all of these different states to get one. Now wake up Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and be like Minnesota and pass that handgun permit law...for law abdiding citizens.............
