Can you identify these armed robbery suspects? Tacoma police seek public’s help

Tacoma police are looking for three people they suspect were involved in an armed robbery at a jewelry store in the Proctor District. Police are seeking help from the public to identify them.

The three suspects entered a jewelry store at about 5 p.m. Oct. 19 in the 3800 block of North 26th Street. Police said they robbed the store at gunpoint and at one point fired a gunshot into the ground.

During the robbery, the suspects ordered two women, ages 71 and 67, to retrieve jewelry for them. No one was injured. It’s unclear how much was taken from the store.

Police said the suspects fled in what appeared to be a maroon, 2000s Buick Century or Regal.

Anyone with information about the suspects can anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Tipsters who provide information that leads to an arrest and charges filed can receive up to $1,000.
