PASCO, Wash. – Police arrested three men over nearly two weeks in relation to an armed robbery from April 28 at a gas station on West Court Street, according to the Pasco Police Department.
PPD says on April 28, two men reportedly entered the Mr. Qwik’s gas station with one being caught on camera pointing a gun at the clerk and taking cash from the register.
An investigation revealed the identity of both robbers, leading to the arrest of one on April 30 at the Starlite Motel.
Detectives showed a picture of the second man to employees at the nearby Albertsons so they could keep watch. One employee recognized the man on Tue., May 7 and police found him leaving the store.
PPD says officers quickly took the man into custody and detained another man who was sitting in the suspect’s car. That third man was found with a stolen handgun and both had illegal drugs in their possession.
PPD notes that this is the third gun recovered by Pasco swing shift officers since Saturday.
