The so-called Hillcrest bandit struck for the 21st time Thursday when he robbed a Security Pacific Bank branch in the area, San Diego police spokesman Bill Robinson said.
He said that shortly after 1 p.m., the bandit robbed the Security Pacific Bank at 350 University Ave., getting away with $1,511.
The suspect, 6-foot-4 inches and 180 pounds, escaped in a car and was last seen westbound on University Avenue, Robinson said.
The man is suspected of robbing 20 other area banks in the last year.
