A 24-year-old San Mateo man who robbed a Redwood City bank this week but left a trail of stolen bills that police followed to track him down pleaded not guilty to a robbery charge Wednesday, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office.
Kendrick Roby entered the BBVA Compass Bank at 660 Woodside Road at about 11 a.m. Monday, vaulted the counter and demanded money from the bank employees, according to a Redwood City Police Department statement.
After threatening to shoot the employees if they did not obey his orders, Roby allegedly opened a cash drawer and removed an undisclosed amount of money. He then fled, running northbound on Oxford Street. Police were called immediately after the robbery occurred, according to police.
A witness reportedly saw Roby run into an apartment complex on the 1500 block of Oxford Street, two blocks away from the bank, and notified police. During an area search, police followed a trail of money to an apartment complex on the 1500 block of Hudson Street, where they found Roby.
