License Plate Reader Helps Nab Armed Robbers

Deputies say four masked suspects stole about $20,000 worth of marijuana from an Elma business, then carried out an armed robbery miles away with a similar description.

Grays Harbor Sheriff's Office says one suspect is in custody and more arrests are coming after a burglary and armed robbery investigation that began last week. Deputies say four masked suspects stole about $20,000 worth of marijuana from an Elma business, then carried out an armed robbery miles away with a similar description. Using license plate reader technology and help from multiple agencies, investigators arrested a 27-year-old Everett man and identified another suspect from Auburn. Deputies say the same group is also linked to burglaries outside Grays Harbor County, and the investigation remains active.
