Rainier Avenue South KeyBank robbed

The KeyBank in the 9200 block of Rainier Avenue South was robbed Monday afternoon, and FBI agents are looked for the robber.

The robbery happened about 3:30 p.m. when a man believed to be in his late 20s went into the bank wearing a camouflage jacket and an orange beanie, FBI spokeswoman Robbie Burroughs said.

The man was believed to be unarmed, she said.

Agents didn't specify how much money he left with – but he did get away with a red dye pack that exploded on him as he fled southbound down Rainier Avenue South.

It was not clear if Monday's robbery was related to a robbery Thursday in Bellevue or a robbery last week in Seattle, Burroughs said.

"... went into the bank wearing a camouflage jacket and an orange beanie..."

Smart thinking. Wearing the combination of a camouflage jacket and an orange beanie was intended, no doubt, to derail a meaningful description in the news of the suspect himself.
