Description
Police are seeking the suspects they believe are responsible for a "dramatic increase" in "note-job" bank robberies in North Seattle.
The suspects walk into a bank and pass a note to a teller making threats and demanding money, according to the Seattle Police Department (SPD).
SPD and the FBI are asking for the public's help in identifying the suspects.
"There's already been nine this month around the greater Seattle area and five in the city," FBI's Steve Bernd said. He added that last month they saw 14 of these note-job robberies, with 11 of them being in Seattle.
"To compare it to March, it was 14 and 11, last March it was I think three total? Something like that," he said. "It's a crazy jump."
