Kennewick police have released a photo of the suspect in Saturday’s robbery at the Gesa Credit Union on North Huntington Street.

The image, which appears to be from a security camera, shows a man in a dark hoodie, a Seahawks hat and a surgical mask at a bank counter. He’s holding an envelope with writing on it.

Police say the man entered the Gesa branch at about 11:30 a.m. and approached a teller with a sign demanding money. The teller gave him an undisclosed amount of cash.

No customers or Gesa employees were hurt in the incident, Sgt. Bryan Weatherbee said.

Police continue to investigate. To make a confidential tip, contact Crime Stoppers at 509-586-8477 (TIPS), 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or tricitiescrimestoppers.org.
