A man is being sought after he successfully used Craigslist to cover up a bank robbery.
He posted an advert on the popular classified web site offering landscaping work on a road maintenance project in Monroe, Washington for $28.50 an hour.
One man who contacted the advertiser about work was told to meet the rest of the crew outside a Bank of America branch wearing a yellow vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask and a blue shirt.
The man met a dozen other men waiting to start work on the job, all dressed in a similar fashion. No hirer appeared and the men thought they had been stood up but later discovered they were unwitting accomplices in a bank robbery.
As the men gathered outside, the robber went into the bank wearing the same clothes as those stood outside. He pepper-sprayed a guard, snatched a money bag and made his escape.
The robber, described as 'a white man in his 20s, between 5ft 7in and 5ft 10in, wearing a dark blue shirt, jean shorts and a mask' is now being sought by the police. He was last seen floating down Woods Creek on an inner tube.

it's a pretty incredible story... Didn't think people even had the balls to attempt a bank robbery these days.

Bank robberies happen all the time. Almost so commonplace you don't really hear about them unless its the bank down the street. The bank attached to the building I work in gets robbed every second week or so.

They aren't really bank robberies you see about on TV. They don't hold out guns and ask everyone to get on the ground. Its more single males that walk in with a note saying "Give me $2000 and I won't hurt you. No dye pack." or something along those lines. Usually the robbers will not say anything to suggest its a robbery, they will leave it up to the note. I don't know why that is. Weapons are usually implied but almost never produced.
Bank tellers are trained to give into their demands. Most professional robbers know that $2000 is the limit tellers can gather without needing a manager to assist. Usually they give them the money and include a dye pack and a gps bait pack in with the rest of the money. Most professional robbers know what to look for and will discard the bait money before leaving the bank.
