According to the Seattle Police Department, the suspect entered the Columbia Bank branch at Broadway and Mercer just before 5 PM and handed the teller a note reading, “This is a robbery; I have a gun no dye packs.”
Police say the teller complied and the masked suspect was reported fleeing the bank on foot with “a fair amount of cash,” according to East Precinct radio updates.
According to police, details of the Friday hold-up matched a similar heist the previous afternoon targeting a downtown BECU.
Officers collected evidence at the Broadway bank scene and searched the area but could not locate the suspect. There were no reported injuries.
Hours later Friday night, the watchful team at the Capitol Hill Goodwill called police to report they had found “a note from a bank robbery” in a changing room of the Belmont Ave thrift store:
Officers converged on the area and got video footage of the suspect who left the note. Officers on an area check located the suspect and took him into custody. The suspect was found to be in possession of money believed to be taken in the bank robbery
SPD says the suspect was booked into King County Jail for investigation of robbery.
