2 Men Charged With Robbing Same Bank

SEATTLE

Two Port Townsend men were being held on charges in separate armed robberies that netted more than $423,000 from the same bank branch in Lynnwood, FBI agents said.

David Alan McAdams, 45, and James Dwayne Tolle, 28, were arrested Monday after being named in complaints filed in U.S. District Court, said William D. Gore, FBI agent in charge in Seattle. Both were in custody pending court appearances.

The complaint said each was accompanied by David Michael Hensel in separate bank robberies at the same bank branch. Hensel was arrested in March after a bank robbery in Everett similar to the Lynnwood heists.

McAdams was charged with robbing the north Lynnwood branch of Security Pacific Bank, where more than $196,000 was taken shortly before opening time on Nov. 20, 1991. Five bank employees were forced to lie on the floor and their hands and feet were bound with duct tape before the two robbers fled when an armored car arrived.

Lynnwood police surrounded the bank for more than two hours before determining that the robbers had fled.

Tolle was charged in a holdup in which $227,000 was taken from the same branch on Dec. 3, 1991, after it had changed ownership and was being operated by Key Bank of Washington. In that robbery, bank workers and customers were locked in the vault by two robbers.
