Police make two arrests in recent string of coffee shop burglaries

PASCO, Wash.-- Pasco Police have arrested 2 males in connection with at least six coffee shop burglaries, and the pair is also linked to a pair of recent armed robberies.

Sunday night, two victims reported that they were robbed of cash at gunpoint after arranging online to meet someone to buy a cell phone.

Coffee shops in Kennewick, Richland, Pasco, and Finley were burglarized early Tuesday morning, with a suspect busting out drive thru windows, and steal cash and other items, including iPads.

Investigators say the same dark green Honda Accord with a spoiler was used in all of those crimes, and that led to the arrest Wednesday of one juvenile and one adult male on Thursday. That vehicle has been impounded.

The 16-year old was booked into Juvenile Detention for two counts of Armed Robbery, and one count each of Assault First Degree, and Felony Harassment (Threats to Kill).

On Thursday, officers served a search warrant in Finley and arrested Angel Paredes-Ibarra, 18. He's being held on two counts of Armed Robbery, a count of Assault First Degree, and Felony Harassment (Threats to Kill).

Both suspects face additional charges in connection with Tuesday's burglaries.
