SPD arrests bank robbery suspect who used a stolen rental van as a getaway vehicle

On 4/20/2022 Spokane Police responded to a bank robbery in the zero hundred block of W. Riverside. A man with a bandana over his face walked into the credit union and approached a teller with what appeared to be weapon and demanded money. The suspect left on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. Down the street from the robbery, a security guard made some important observations: the guard saw a rental vehicle parked, and noted a man exit the van while a women remained inside. A short time later the security guard saw the same male run back to the van, jump in, and depart the area. The information helped officers identify the vehicle they were looking for, which turned out to be a stolen rental van.
