SPANAWAY, Wash. — The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man suspected of robbing a Key Bank.

The man reportedly walked into the bank located in the 17600 block of Pacific Avenue South at 9:40 a.m. Wednesday in Spanaway.

The man handed the teller a note demanding cash and kept one of his hands in his coat pocket, possibly implying he was armed, investigators said.

The man is described as white and was wearing a latex-type mask over his face and ears, with a red bandana covering the top of his head.

He also had on a tan hooded coat, black jeans, white gloves, black sunglasses and an orange and yellow construction-style vest.

Anyone with information that could lead to the man’s arrest is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
