3 arrested in Pasco in connection with armed robbery at gas station | News

PASCO, Washington – Police arrested three men in nearly two weeks in connection with an April 28 armed robbery at a gas station on West Court Street, according to Pasco police.

According to PPD, two men allegedly entered Mr. Qwik’s gas station on April 28, and one of them was caught on camera pointing a gun at the clerk and taking cash from the register.

An investigation revealed the identities of both robbers and led to the arrest of one at the Starlite Motel on April 30.

Investigators showed employees at the nearby Albertsons a picture of the second man so they could keep watch. An employee recognized the man on Tuesday, May 7, and police found him leaving the store.

According to PPD, officers quickly took the man into custody and arrested another man who was sitting in the suspect’s car. The third man was found with a stolen handgun and both had illegal drugs on them.

PPD notes this is the third gun recovered by rotating shift officers in Pasco since Saturday.
