King County Sheriff’s Office seeks help catching Klahanie bank robber

A 5-foot-7-inch male entered the Wells Fargo Bank off of Klahanie Drive, approached the teller and passed a note asking for money at about 6 p.m. March 12

The King County Sheriff’s Office asks citizens to help nab the suspect in the March 12 Klahanie bank robbery.

A 5-foot-7-inch male entered the Wells Fargo Bank off of Klahanie Drive, approached the teller and passed a note asking for money at about 6 p.m.

The entire incident lasted only a few minutes. This was the first bank robbery at this particular Wells Fargo, dating back almost 10 years.

Bank tellers are trained to comply with bank robbers, as to not escalate the incident. It’s unknown how much money was taken or if the note indicated the suspect had a weapon.

The male appears to white with dark hair and a full beard in the images captured during the robbery.

The Klahanie Shopping Center was very busy during the hour Wells Fargo was robbed and investigators were able to speak with several citizen witnesses, according to a King County Sheriff’s Office press release.

Investigators are pursuing leads and hope to identify the suspect soon.

Anyone who recognizes the suspect should contact King County Sheriff’s Office at 206-296-3311.
