Armed robbers held up a gas station west of the Narrows. Up to $1,000 reward for tips
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department is looking for two men involved in an armed robbery at a local gas station.
According to a post on X by the PCSD, the armed robbery took place around 6 a.m. on Dec. 16 at the 76 gas station at 13818 Purdy Dr. NW.
The gas station is just before the main light near Peninsula High School.
The two suspects were men in their “late teens to early 20s, tall, medium builds,” according to the post.
“One suspect entered the business and pretended to purchase a drink,” according to the Tacoma-Pierce County Crime Stoppers website. “The other suspect then entered the business implying he had a gun, threatened the clerk, and stole approximately $200, while the first suspect ran outside.”
Darren Moss, a spokesperson for the PCSD told the Gateway there were no reported injuries.
“Suspects fled in gray, 4-door sedan (possibly a 2010s Dodge Avenger) with black wheels,” the post said.
A reward for anyone who comes forward with information that could help police make an arrest and leads to charges could be “up to $1,000,” according to the post.
Anyone with information for investigators can send the Pierce County’s Sheriff’s Department a private message on Facebook or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers.
