EVERETT — Police believe a serial robber has struck in south Everett for the fourth time, most recently on Monday. In each case, the man said he was armed but no gun was seen, Everett police officer Aaron Snell said.
Again on Thursday, investigators issued a plea for the public’s help identifying the culprit. They also shared low-resolution surveillance images collected from the businesses that were hit.
Two of the robberies were reported Oct. 24 and Nov. 1 at the Lovers adult store on SE Everett Mall Way. Another happened Oct. 28 at Papa Murphy’s Pizza on 19th Avenue SE. All three of those incidents happened at night, while Monday’s robbery occurred around noon at the Sprint store at 121 SE Everett Mall Way.
All of the holdups involved a man who was described as white and apparently in his early 20s. He was about 6 foot with a thin build, Snell said. He has donned black clothing, gloves and a ski mask or similar face covering. He has been seen running from the scenes but may also use a vehicle of unknown type.
Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at 425-257-8450. Tips can be anonymous.
In a similar plea earlier this week, the police department misstated the dates of some of the robberies.
