On Feb. 7 at approximately 12:59 pm, officers responded to a report of a bank
robbery with a gun at Wells Fargo bank, at 110 NE Roberts Ave. The suspect was gone prior to police
arrival. The initial suspect description was a white male in his early 20s, wearing a ski mask, a black
hooded sweatshirt and jeans. He was described as approximately 5-foot 10-inches tall and 150
pounds. The suspect was last seen leaving the bank out of the east doors. Video evidence collected at
the scene of the robbery narrowed down the suspect description and showed the suspect leaving the
area in an Uber rideshare vehicle.
A detective assigned to the case contacted additional witnesses, while additional investigators assisted
with evidence collection and interviews. Captain John Rasmussen noted, “This investigation was truly
a team effort.” A suspect, 16-year-old male, was identified and taken into custody on Feb. 8.
Detectives searched the suspect’s bedroom and backpack, pursuant to a search warrant, and recovered
a replica handgun, clothing worn during the robbery, and a significant portion of the money taken in
the robbery. The suspect was lodged at the Donald E Long home on suspicion of Robbery in the
Second Degree.
