Pasco armed robber on the run

PASCO, Wash.-- Pasco Police are searching for a man suspected of robbing a convenience store Saturday night.

Sgt. Nathan Carlisle with the Pasco Police Department tells Newsradio 610 KONA that dispatchers received a 911 call at about 10:32 p.m. reporting that a man had entered Kim's Conoco in the 1900 block of W. Court St., flashed a firearm, took an undisclosed amount of cash, and then fled the area.

K9 Brit and her handler responded to the scene within just a few minutes and started a track, but was unable to locate a suspect.

Sgt. Carlisle says surveillance images show the suspect appears to be a Hispanic male.

A male clerk was the only one in the store at the time of the robbery.

Anyone with information about the robbery is encouraged to contact investigators through the non-emergency dispatch number, 509-628-0333.
