SNOHOMISH — Police here are looking for a suspected bank robber who also may have struck in Arlington.
Just before 4:30 p.m. Thursday, a man entered Key Bank on Avenue D in Snohomish. He passed the teller a note implying that he had a gun and demanding cash, Snohomish police Cmdr. Fred Havener said.
The man then drove away in a royal-blue 1970s passenger car.
He is described as white, 5-foot-5 and heavyset. He had a scruffy beard and was wearing a dark jacket, white T-shirt and blue jeans.
Snohomish detectives are working the case alongside the FBI and Arlington police. They believe the same robber may have hit Chase Bank in Arlington in June.
Anyone with information is asked to call 360-282-3205 or 360-282-3209.
