A suspected serial bank robber’s getaway was foiled on Wednesday by Bellevue police, after investigators discovered the man hailed a taxi to flee the scene.

Shortly after 12:30 p.m., police responded to a reported robbery at the Chase Bank located at 10550 NE 8th St. in Downtown Bellevue.

Officers learned that the suspect had passed a note to the teller, and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash, according to the Bellevue Police Department’s blog.

Bank employees were able to provide police with an accurate description of the suspect and the clothing he was wearing.

Officers questioned employees of neighboring businesses to see if anyone had seen the suspect. Police learned that the suspect had hailed a taxi.

Based on that information, as well as photos of the suspect the bank provided to police, an officer who happened to be in Seattle located the suspect in the First Hill area.

The 34-year-old homeless man was arrested without incident. Bellevue robbery detectives interviewed him and booked him into jail.

He is suspected in at least three other bank robberies, two in Lynnwood and one in Seattle, and one attempted robbery in Seattle.

The suspect is expected to be charged with first-degree robbery and attempted robbery in King County Superior Court.
