Spokane Valley Major Crimes Detectives are investigating a robbery at Macy’s in the Spokane Valley Mall. The suspect in these pictures became violent when confronted about stealing two frying pans and struck a store security employee in the face and shoulder with one of the pans prior to fleeing on foot.
The robbery, which started out as a theft until the suspect became violent, occurred on February 13, 2017, at approximately 7:10 p.m.
The suspect threw one of the frying pans down as he ran away with the other pan still in his possession. The suspect was last seen fleeing north on foot from the store, toward Indiana.
