Kent bank robber sought for Canyon Road heist, too | The News Tribune

Authorities are seeking a man who robbed a bank on Canyon Road on Saturday, a week after he robbed a Kent credit union in the same outfit.

The man is wanted for robbing the Alaska USA Federal Credit Union branch inside a Safeway store about 5:45 p.m. Saturday, according to Kent police.

He is described as being in his mid-20s, about 5 feet 9 with a medium build. He was wearing a stocking cap and a gray hoodie with a gray “Nike” symbol on the front.

He was riding in a late 1980s or early 1990s red Honda Prelude or Accord with a sunroof, spoiler and flip-up headlights, police said.

SIGN UP

The Kent robbery was at the Alaska USA Federal Credit Union branch inside the Fred Meyer at 10201 SE 240th St., police said.

There, he handed a teller a note inferring a threat, police said, then left with cash. A search of the area did not turn up the man.

Anyone with information about either robbery is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
