A Washington bank robber created a bit of excitement for bank employees and multiple police departments.

The bank robbery at the 5306 Pacific Highway Key Bank did not involve a weapon.  An alert co-worker noticed the robbery taking place and watched the robber leave to enter his 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado and onto southbound I-5.  Fife police officers arrived at the bank, got a description, and notified area law enforcement agencies.

A Tacoma police officer located the vehicle and tailed him.  The officer noted that the 1973 Toronado stuck out like a sore thumb.  The suspect got off I-5, hit a couple of cars, and then got back onto I-5 southbound.  The suspect eventually got back off the highway, hit a telephone poll, then took off on foot.
