The Wells Fargo Bank on Richmond Beach Road in Shoreline was robbed at gun point on Monday, November 7, 2011 at 12:25pm.

The suspect approached the counter at the bank and asked the teller for “100’s, 20’s and 50’s” in a “low pitched” tone. When the teller hesitated he repeated the request and pulled a pistol from his backpack.

The suspect fled on foot. He is described as a “scruffy” white male, 40-50 years old, unshaven, and was last seen wearing a dark beanie, dark windbreaker, jeans, and was carrying a tattered, dark colored backpack.

Please contact the King County Sheriff’s Office Communications Center at 206-296-3311 (24 hours) or 9-1-1 with any information.

The teller had been in the Shoreline Police training session on bank robberies on November 2.  She most certainly did not think she would need to use the information within a week. See previous article.
