Lacey police identify suspect in armed robberies from Lacey to Tukwila
Lacey police have identified Siosaia Lausii V. Fifita as one of two suspects wanted in connection to several armed robberies throughout the region, including one in Lacey.
The armed robberies took place Thursday night and early Friday morning in Lacey, unincorporated Thurston County, DuPont, Fife, Kent and Tukwila, Sgt. Terence Brimmer said Sunday. The information about Fifita, 23, was released to The Olympian Saturday night.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest, Brimmer said.
In Lacey and unincorporated Thurston County, Fifita and a second male suspect, who has not been identified, are accused of robbing gasoline station convenience stores at 1601 Marvin Road NE and at 9410 Martin Way E.
During both robberies, Fifita apparently used a “pistol grip pump action shotgun,” according to Lacey police.
Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call 911.
