Police brief

A man walked into Fidelity Federal Bank on Westcliff Drive in Newport

Beach on Tuesday afternoon and announced he was there to rob the branch.

Although the bank robber did not show a weapon, he left with the money

from one teller’s drawer, said Sgt. Steve Shulman of the Newport Beach

Police Department.

Police describe the bank robber as being in his late 20s or early 30s,

between 5-foot-4 and 5-foot-6. Witnesses said he was wearing black jeans,

a black baseball cap, black wraparound sunglasses and a brown and white

flannel shirt over a white T-shirt.

He left the bank on foot through the south doors in an unknown

direction.
