A masked man held up an Eastgate bank Tuesday, loading an undisclosed amount of cash into a black bag and escaping on foot.

The man entered the bank at approximately 10:30 a.m. and told everyone to put their hands up, and he jumped over the counter and took money from multiple teller tills before running out the door.

Bellevue police spokeswoman Officer Carla Iafrate said the man left on foot, and police had no vehicle information or knowledge of any accomplices. He is described as having blue eyes and standing 5 feet 10 inches tall with a black ski mask, a grey jacket and jeans.

Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $1000.00 for any information that leads to the arrest and charge of anyone involved in this crime.  Anyone with information regarding this subject is asked to call 1-800-222-TIPS, the 24/7 anonymous tips line of the Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound.

Iafrate said police are examining security tapes from nearby businesses to see if they can find a track the suspect took out of the area. Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation are on the scene as well, Iafrate said.

The bank may have been targeted by the suspect because of its proximity to Interstate 90, an easy escape route.

“It’s pretty hard to catch them when a bank’s right on the freeway,” she said.
