Kennewick police looking for suspect in a pair of armed robberies

Police are hunting for a man who may have robbed two Kennewick conveniences stores within a week.

A man came into the Clearwater Avenue Circle K shortly after midnight on Saturday, showed a weapon and demanded money from the clerk. After getting the money, he left.

Police are not releasing information about what kind of weapon the man used at this time, said Kennewick police Sgt. Ryan Kelly.

The suspect is possibly in his 30s, with brown hair, thin build and between 5-foot-5 and 5-foot-7.

A man with the same description drove a white four-door passenger car to Pacific Mini Mart at the corner of First Avenue and Washington Street at 11 a.m. Tuesday.

After getting money from the clerk, he drove away.

Anyone with information on who he is is asked to call dispatch at 509-628-0333 or Tri-City Crime Stoppers at 509-586-8477.

Callers can remain anonymous and receive up to a $1,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
