Authorities asked the public Monday for help in identifying a man who robbed a South Bay bank two weeks ago wearing a Chicago Cubs ballcap.

The thief handed a demand note to a teller at the Mission Federal Credit Union branch in the 500 block of Telegraph Canyon Road in Chula Vista shortly after 9 a.m. Nov. 27, according to the FBI. In the written message, the robber claimed to have a gun, though none was seen.

The bandit, who fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, was described as a roughly 5-foot-7-inch Latino in his 30s or 40s, wearing a white-and- blue-checkered long-sleeved shirt, a blue Chicago Cubs-logo baseball cap and black-framed glasses.

Anyone who might be able to help the FBI track down the thief is asked to call the federal agency at (858) 320-1800.
