MILL CREEK—The Mill Creek Police Department (MCPD) is releasing photos and asking the public for assistance in identifying the suspects involved in a robbery at T-Mobile in the Safeway Shopping Center. Officers were unable to pursue the suspects due to changes to Washington State law.
On Wednesday, February 21, 2024, at 7:33 p.m., three masked males entered the Mill Creek T-Mobile store at 16314 Bothell-Everett HWY while the store was open for business. The customers and employees inside ran from the store while the suspects kicked in the back-office door. No injuries were reported; however, several items, including merchandise from the secure back office, were stolen.
A Mill Creek officer attempted to stop the suspects as they fled in a stolen black Chevrolet Trailblazer. However, the officer could not pursue the vehicle under current Washington State law, and the suspects escaped. The Lynnwood Police Department later recovered the stolen vehicle.
Below are the suspects’ pictures released by the Mill Creek Police Department:
If you have any information regarding this incident, please contact Detective Chris White with the MCPD at 425-745-6175.
