TACOMA — A Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman said Tacoma police made an arrest Thursday night in connection with a string of espresso stand robberies.
Sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said police pulled over two men over about 10 p.m. The second man was also reportedly in custody. No additional information was immediately available.
Two coffee stands on Canyon Road in the eastern part of the county were hit Thursday, after two robberies Wednesday, in Puyallup and Fircrest.
Troyer said the robber was successful in only one of Thursday’s robbery attempts. And surveillance video captured an image of the robber’s car, seen leaving one of the stands.
