The King County Sheriff's Office has released this new surveillance photo showing the man who robbed a Newcastle bank on March 18 as he was making his getaway. After leaving the bank, the man walked into a nearby Safeway store, where he made a quick change by removing his ball cap, glasses and coat.
The photo below shows the man in his "disguise" while robbing the bank.
The man robbed the Key Bank branch at 6917 Coal Creek Parkway S.E. around 12:20 p.m. The Sheriff's Office says he walked up to a teller and gave her a robbery note. The teller handed over some cash and the man walked out of the bank and into the Safeway.
He's described as white, about 6 feet tall, with a thin build. He wore a black jacket with a brown collar, black baseball cap and light-colored jeans.
If you recognize him, call the Sheriff's Office at 206-296-3311 or 911.
