WANTED IN BELLEVUE - Bellevue Police want you to take a good look at this guy holding an ice axe.
He`s far from any mountain to climb, but close to getting caught if you know his name.
Detectives say he used the axe to smash his way into the downtown Rite Aid on 106th Ave. NE, just south of Bellevue Square mall, to loot the place during the chaos and vandalism back on May 31st.
