LOS BANOS, Calif. (KFSN) -- Los Banos Police are teaming up with the Glendale Police Department to help catch a couple of serial bank robbers.

Detectives with the Glendale Police Department say two suspects involved in a bank robbery in Glendale are also responsible for bank robberies in Sherman Oaks and Los Banos.

According to a Facebook post, the Los Banos Police Department wants help identifying the suspects believed to be related to a bank robbery on November 9th in Los Banos and on November 20th in the city of Glendale.

On Monday, November 20th, one of the suspects entered a Citibank in the City of Glendale. The suspect handed the teller a note demanding cash and revealed a handgun tucked in his waistband. When the teller refused to hand over the cash, the suspect ran out of the bank and jumped into a Silver Kia Optima driven by another suspect. A short time later, the same suspect entered a Glendale Bank of America, demanded cash, and then fled before obtaining any money.

The first suspect is described as a white male, 30-40 years old, brown hair, brown eyes, and a brown beard.

The second suspect has a slim build and is heavily tattooed. Some of the tattoos include a distinct cancer ribbon on the front of his neck and an unknown tattoo on the back of his neck. Others include a marijuana leaf on his right write and forearm, musical notes and treble clefs on his upper arm and an unknown tattoo on the back of his right hand.

The suspect's vehicle is described as a 2016-2017 KIA Optima with an unknown sticker displayed on the lower left front windshield and a sticker in the lower right rear window.
