Officer Tory Mangione was driving an unmarked police car when he noticed the suspect, a 23-year-old Kirkland man, exiting the bank in the center of a cloud of red smoke caused by a dye pack used by the bank for security.

Unsure of what was happening, Mangione exited his vehicle and detained the suspect.

Patrol officers arrived shortly after in response to a 911 call from inside the bank indicating it had been robbed.

The suspect was arrested and all of the $1,500 taken from the bank was recovered.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation took over the investigation and assumed custody of the man.

In May 2006 Mangione and three other officers responded to a 911 call at the same bank and greeted a suspect who was exiting the bank after robbing it by bomb threat.

The suspect’s backpack was cut off and the surrounding area was evacuated while the bomb squad disabled the contents of the bag.
