Snohomish County Sheriff's Sketch
Police are searching for the cocoa butter bandit, believed to be responsible for up to 17 tanning salon robberies (Tanning salons, really?) throughout Snohomish and King County.

In each incident, witnesses reported the suspect kept to the same routine. First, he asked for a salon tour and then pulled a gun on the salon's bronzed store clerk. Police urge local tanning salons to be on the look out.

Multiple witnesses describe the "pudgy" white male suspect to be standing 6 feet tall, weighing 200 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. What, no tan?
