CommentsUniversity Place deputies were searching for a man who robbed a bank branch near Tacoma Community College on Thursday morning.
They believe the bandit is the same man who robbed the same branch last month. Each time, the robber wore a Halloween-style hockey mask.
Thursday’s bank robbery occurred about 10:20 a.m. at Chase Bank, 6916 19th St. W. The bandit walked in wearing the hockey mask, demanded cash from a teller and fled with an undisclosed amount of money.
Investigators say the same man hit the same Chase branch about 10 a.m. Oct. 15.
No weapon was seen in either incident.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department had previously released surveillance images of the hockey-mask-wearing robber. Tacoma-Pierce County Crime Stoppers is offering up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest and charges filed in the robberies. Callers remain anonymous.
Tipsters can call 253-591-5959.
