ID needed of serial bank robbery suspects becoming increasingly violent

BELLEVUE, Wash. - Bellevue Police are asking for the public’s help to identify a serial bank robbery suspect.  

Detectives say he entered the Sound Credit Union on 148th Ave SE at 5:08 P.M. on Tuesday, November 9th and asked if the teller could help with cashing a check.  He then gave a demand note to the teller, pulled out a red and black gun and walked behind the desk and put the gun into the side of the teller’s back.  

He ordered the teller to put all of the money into the gray and blue backpack he was carrying and then left on foot.  

The suspect is described as Black, in his twenties, wearing a camo balaclava, black Nike jacket with a hood, black pants and black shoes.  

Seattle Police say the same suspect wanted in Bellevue has also robbed multiple other banks while wearing a camo balaclava

Police in Seattle believe the same suspect and a second man are responsible for at least 6 bank robberies in the Greater Seattle area over the past three weeks. 

Seattle Police seek ID of second bank robbery suspect. 

 Detectives say their behavior has become increasingly violent with one of the suspects firing three rounds through the glass door of a bank in Federal Way.
