Seattle police are investigating vandalism at two separate Wells Fargo bank branches that left at least 12 windows smashed.

Police says at about 1:30 a.m. Monday morning, a person or people smashed out two large windows and the front doors of a Wells Fargo bank on Sandpoint Way NE.

Investigators say it appears the suspects used small rocks to break the glass.

About 90 minutes later, a vandal or vandals broke at least nine windows at another Wells Fargo bank in the 4000 block of E. Madison St. While a K-9 unit responded and attempted to track down a suspect, officers were unsuccessful.

Police say they have no suspect information and the investigation continues.

    Isn't it interesting that Obama bailed out Wells Fargo with billions and, allowed Wells Fargo to buy other banks for pennies on the dollar.But to date Obama has done nothing to help those that these bankers destroyed by foreclosung on their homes, increased the interest on the credit used by the working class, decresed the interest earned on our money in these banks, and added huge fees to services they provide. Yep, the 99% should be mad at the source of the problem i.e. Obama and NOT the bankers that Obama rewarded.
