■ A man was recently held up at gunpoint and robbed of an undisclosed amount of cash in downtown Santa Monica.

On Oct. 15, at 2:33 p.m., the victim, on his way to the bank with a deposit, was exiting his car at the 1300 block of Fourth Street when the suspect approached him from behind, pointed a handgun and demanded his money, police said. The victim complied, and the suspect fled with the money.

The suspect is a Latino male, 18 to 25 years old, 5’ 5” tall with a thin build and a shaved head. He wore a black, long-sleeved hooded jacket and khaki pants.
