A bank robber is on the loose after robbing a Federal Way Wells Fargo on Saturday.

At about 6 p.m., the suspect walked into the bank, located at 914 S. 348th St., and went to the only teller working at the time. According to the police report, the suspect handed the teller a note that said, “This is a robbery, remain calm, lay out all your 20s, 50s and 100s.”

The teller read the note and looked back at the man, who replied that it was OK and to “just give him the money.”

The teller laid out several bills and the suspect calmly walked toward the front door.

Another bank employee saw the suspect but didn’t realize what had just happened.

Because the employee was getting ready to close the bank, he followed the suspect to the door and told him to have a good day. The suspect replied, “You too.”

The employee turned around and only then realized it was a robbery when he saw the teller upset.

The suspect is described as a white man in his 40s or 50s, 6-feet tall and skinny. He was wearing a grey hoodie and a black or grey beanie. He also had a dirty, bloody bandage over his right eye.
