The San Jose Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying a robbery suspect.
 
On Saturday, 04/25/09, at approximately 9:25 a.m., an armed robbery occurred at the MeriWest Credit Union, 5615 Chesbro Avenue, in San Jose. The suspect walked in to the credit union through the west entrance and placed a brick on the ground to prop the front door open. He immediately went to the teller window, pushed a customer out of the way, and placed a plastic grocery bag on the counter.
 
The suspect brandished a small silver-colored semi-automatic handgun at the teller and demanded money be placed in the bag. The suspect exited the same door he had entered and fled.
 
The suspect was described as a White or Hispanic male, 25-30 years of age, approximately 5'10" tall, 170 lbs. in weight, last seen wearing a black cloth covering the lower portion of his face, a grey zip-up hooded sweat shirt with the hood up, dark colored jean (denim) pants, and black shoes.
 
Anyone with information regarding this case is urged to contact Detective Keith Mizuhara of the San Jose Police Department's Robbery Unit at 408-277-4166. Persons wishing to remain anonymous may call Crime Stoppers at 408-947-STOP (7867). A cash reward is being offered for information leading to the suspect's arrest and conviction.
