VISTA, Calif. -- Sheriff's deputies are hoping someone will recognize the man who robbed a branch of the Bank of America in Vista earlier this month.

He was described as Hispanic or Samoan in his late teens or early 20s, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, 180 to 200 pounds, with shoulder-length hair pulled back into a ponytail with 2 corn row braids.

Deputies said he entered the bank on South Santa Fe Avenue in Vista about 3:30 p.m. on March 7, and after presenting a demand note, indicated he had a weapon.
