The Spokane Police Department has released a photo of a suspect in a robbery at a Washington Trust Bank branch this morning. Three people, described as black males in their 20’s, entered the bank at just after 9:30 a.m. They were wearing ski masks and demanded money at gunpoint, according to a Spokane Police Department news release. The FBI has joined the investigation. Police believe the robbery might be connected to a robbery at the U.S. Bank branch in the 3900 block of North Lincoln on Dec. 20. Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Crime Check at 456-2233.
