Police are searching for a bank robbery suspect who ran from the Wells Fargo in Snohomish Tuesday afternoon.
The suspect is considered armed and dangerous. Witnesses described the suspect as a white male, approximately 5 feet, 8 inches tall, slim and wearing all black.
It’s unclear if he took any money. He was last seen carrying a black crossover bag.
The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office reported on X, formerly known as Twitter, that a police dog was searching the area as the suspect ran from the location on foot.
However, the sheriff’s office later reported Tuesday they were unable to locate the suspect and they believe he fled in a vehicle.
The law enforcement agency posted a photo of the suspect on X late Tuesday afternoon.

Police investigating anti-LGBTQ+ hate crime at Renton church
Renton Police detectives are investigating a potential hate crime at a church Friday night.
Officers responded to a call at the United Christian Church on 116th Avenue Southeast early Saturday morning, where they found six rainbow-colored doors scattered on the church’s front lawn.

The doors were part of a display that said, “God’s doors are open to all.” Detectives said there were tire marks on the lawn, indicating the driver intentionally drove over a six-inch curb and through the six wooden doors.
According to the press release from Renton Police, “the United Christian Church strongly supports the LGBTQ+ community and has suffered vandalism in the past. Hate crimes and bias-related incidents are not tolerated in Renton, and we encourage everyone to report them.”
There was an estimated damage done worth $1,800 to the church property.
Police say hate crimes and bias-related incidents are not tolerated in Renton, and they ask anyone with information to please call them.

A man was seriously hurt in a West Seattle shooting Monday afternoon.
