Clark County Sheriff’s deputies arrested two robbery suspects Wednesday night after a woman used a handgun to hold up the state liquor store at 13200 N.E. Highway 99 in the Salmon Creek area about 6:50 p.m. Wednesday.
A store employee followed the robber from the store and told 911 dispatchers she got into the passenger side of a light-colored Ford SUV that drove away south on Highway 99.
Deputies converged on the north-south strip and began following several vehicles that matched the store employee’s description — and continued searching for other similar SUVs in the area.
Detective Brian Wade with the sheriff’s Tactical Detective Unit, after an “exhaustive area check,” found a similar vehicle, and a woman who matched the robber’s description in it, according to a bulletin from Sgt. Duncan Hoss.
