Pullman Police identified a male subject purchasing a wig and beard Friday morning at the Pullman Wal-Mart.
Yet, he said there is enough probable cause that the male subject is somehow involved in the bank robbery to ask for the public”s help in identification.
Police urge anybody with information to contact the Moscow Police Department at (208) 882-COPS or the City of Moscow Tip Line at (208) 892-3898.
Moscow Police continue to search for a male suspect involved in a bank robbery Friday afternoon at the Wells Fargo Bank on South Blaine Street near Safeway.
According to police, they have identified the silver sedan used in the robbery as a late model Toyota, possibly a Camry or Avalon.
While no specific dollar amount has been identified, Duke said the bank robbery suspect took off with several thousands of dollars.
Moscow Police received a robbery call at 1:21 p.m. Friday afternoon.
The male suspect disguised his identity with a black bushy beard, a long black wig, mirrored sunglasses and face makeup, according to police. He was also wearing a blue plaid shirt with a gray hood and beige pants. The suspect was last seen leaving the area in a silver four-door sedan, according to police.
Duke said the suspect walked into the bank with a brown grocery bag and demanded money from multiple tellers.
He said the suspect did not reveal a weapon, but police continue to advise citizens to not approach suspicious individuals who fit this description.
Since the bank is federally insured, Duke said the FBI was on the scene and will be taking the lead on the investigation.
