POINT LOMA — A would-be robber left empty-handed from the Comerica Bank near Rosecrans Street on Monday morning after the bank manager denied access to the suspect before the bank opened, according to police. The robber, described as a white man in his mid-40s to mid-50s, claimed to have a gun and demanded to be let in — a demand the bank manager refused. The suspect reportedly fled the scene in a gold-colored, full-size extended cab truck. He was described as about 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing about 175 pounds, wearing a white cap, gray sweatshirt, jeans and large sunglasses. Police are asking the public’s help to identify the would-be robber and urge anyone with information to call the police department’s robbery division at (619) 531-2299. — Kevin McKay
