A well-known chef who robbed a northern California bank in 2018 is facing charges again after three bank robberies in central San Francisco last week, according to police.
Officers responding to a bank alarm around noon on Sept. 10 learned that a man passed a note demanding money to an employee, who complied in fear for their life, according to a San Francisco Police Department news release. The man then fled with a bag of money, police said. With help from the community, investigators identified the suspect as Valentino Luchin, 62, of San Francisco and arrested him, police said.
