SPOKANE VALLEY – First Interstate Bank was reportedly subject to a robbery on the afternoon of March 18.
Upon arrival, Spokane Valley Deputies were informed by witnesses that the suspect entered the bank, brandishing a black semiautomatic pistol which he retrieved from his waistband area, and proceeded to demand cash from the counter.
After exiting the bank, the suspect is believed to have walked to the parking lot west of the bank and potentially fled the area in a vehicle, described as a silver SUV resembling a Jeep Cherokee.
Despite the efforts of responding deputies to establish a perimeter, neither the suspect nor the vehicle were located.
