The suspect then fled with the money.

A no-bail warrant has been issued for Jones' arrest, and police said he is believed to be armed and dangerous.
Police said Jones' last known address is in Oakland.
Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to call Pleasant Hill police at (925) 288-4630.
