The King County Sheriffs office is seeking the public’s help in finding a thief who grabbed a bank bag out of the hands of a customer headed into a Bank of America.

The customer was walking into the bank at 16640 International Blvd. (SeaTac) on November 21st about 1:20 PM. The suspect was loitering at the ATM machines at the front of the bank. He grabbed the bank bag as the man walked by.

The victim attempted to pursue the thief, but the suspect subsequently evaded him and the authorities.

The suspect is an Hispanic-looking man about 5’ 6” tall. He wore a black hooded sweatshirt and gray pants.

The 61 year-old victim was making a deposit with the receipts from a nearby deli. “The moral of the story here is, don’t have your bank bag out in the open when you go to the bank,” said Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. John Urquhart.

Anyone who recognizes the thief should immediately call the Sheriff’s Office at (206) 296-3311 or dial 9-1-1.
