Robber Hits Juanita Bank of America
FBI has issued surveillance photos and is seeking information about the suspect, a stocky white male about 5-foot-10.
The FBI is investigating an armed robbery Friday morning of the Juanita Village branch of the Bank of America and has issued surveillance photos in seeking help from the public.
A man described as 30 to 40 years old, about 5-foot-10 with a stocky build and dark hair, robbed the bank at about 10 a.m. using a silver handgun, said FBI Agent Fred Gutt in Seattle.
The suspect was wearing denim jeans, a blue plaid shirt, dark baseball cap and sunglasses.
Anyone with information about the individual(s) in the photos is asked to contact the FBI at telephone 206-622-0460 or email seattle.fbi@ic.fbi.gov. The man should be considered armed and dangerous.
Gutt said he believed the organization Crimestoppers would be offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect.
Kirkland police initially responded at the scene, but have turned the case over to the FBI.
“We responded and did the preliminary investigation,” said Sgt. Rob Saloum, Kirkland Police spokesman.
