An attempted robbery at a local bank ended when the suspect fled the bank before the robbery was completed.
At around 4:30 p.m. Monday, May 21, a male suspect entered the Washington Mutual at 912 164th St., walked up to the teller and handed them a note, said Steve Winters, spokesman for the Mill Creek Police Department.
“The suspect waited for a few moments then turned and left the bank,” Winters said.
The suspect didn’t take anything and no one was injured in the attempted robbery.
Winters said it was unclear why the suspect left the bank without taking any money.
“Whether it was taking too long or he saw something … we don’t know at this point,” he said.
Mill Creek is working with the FBI in the investigation into the robbery.
“They have a person of interest at this point who may have been involved in several other area robberies,” Winters said.
No further information about the suspect was available.
