Kent Police want the public’s help to identify a bank robbery suspect.
Detectives are investigating a robbery that occurred in the evening hours on Saturday, Dec. 3, at the Alaska USA Federal Credit Union within the Fred Meyer, 10201 SE 240th St., according to a police media release on Monday.

He was wearing a stocking cap and a grey hooded sweatshirt with a grey “Nike” symbol on the front.
