Violent robbery at Wells Fargo Bank in Shoreline

By Sgt. John Urguhart, King County Sheriff's office

Two bank robbers, one armed with a pistol and one armed with a shotgun, robbed a Wells Fargo bank in Shoreline yesterday afternoon (Sept. 12th) about 5: 25 PM. Both robbers wore Halloween masks.

The robbers came into the bank, located at 14500 Greenwood, and ordered customers and a teller to the ground. One suspect jumped the counter and demanded larger denomination bills from three teller stations. The robbers then left the bank, heading northbound on foot.

Responding Shoreline officers, assisted by Seattle Police, were unable to locate the suspects.

Suspect #1 was a white male, about 5’10” tall, 160 lbs, with a loud, deep voice. He had a Halloween “old man” mask with long white hair, a black baseball cap, plaid flannel short, gray/tan pants, and black shoes. He was armed with a handgun

Suspect #2 was a white male, 40 to 50 years old, 5’10” tall, wearing a Halloween mask with “Afro-like” hair, red baseball cap, light-colored plain flannel shirt, ski gloves and white shoes. He was armed with a pistol-grip shotgun.

If anyone recognizes either of these suspects, or has information on the robberies they are asked to call the King County Sheriff's Office at (206) 296-3311 (24 hours) or 9-1-1.
