August 29, 2013 (San Diego) – The FBI and San Diego Police Department announced the arrest of Cesar Daniel Flores, age 23, of Santee as a result of the investigation into the robbery of the San Diego County Credit Union, 2245 Fenton Parkway, San Diego on Friday, August 2.

Flores was arrested on Saturday at the Mission Valley Mall after an off-duty FBI Agent spotted Flores at a bus stop.  After seeing Flores, the Agent contacted San Diego Police Department (SDPD) and requested a uniform Patrol Officer to respond to the area. When the agent and SDPD Officer returned to the bus stop they discovered Flores had left the area. After a brief search of the area, Flores was located in the mall and taken into custody without incident.

According to the federal complaint filed in this matter with the U.S. District Court, Southern District, case number 18MJ3180, Flores is charged with one count of bank robbery. The complaint alleges that Flores entered the bank and presented a demand note for cash. After receiving a sum of money, Flores exited the bank on foot. Bank surveillance photographs captured the image of the robber inside of the bank. The FBI showed the surveillance photographs to multiple individuals familiar with Cesar Daniel Flores, including his family and a U.S. Probation Officer. Those individuals identified the robber as Flores.

On Monday, August 26, 2013, Flores had his initial appearance before a U.S. Magistrate Judge. Flores remains in custody at the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), Metropolitan Correctional Center. This case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of California, San Diego.
