Attack

Olympia: South Sound Bank Smashed for Asheville 11

via mainstream media –

Authorities arrived on scene about 7:45 a.m. to find every window broken except the glass at the drive-up teller area, according to Olympia police.

The suspect or suspects likely would face felony malicious-mischief charges because of the severity of the damage, Sgt. Jim Partin said.

Police think anarchists are responsible for the damage, targeting financial institutions in solidarity with a similar group that is being prosecuted in Asheville, N.C.

“They found some graffiti on the building that indicated that it was possibly from anarchists,” Partin said.

Police reviewed video surveillance from the bank and are not sure what was used to break the windows; the business was not entered, Partin said.
