Lynnwood police believe they’ve arrested the suspect who robbed an elderly couple at knife-point in an Alderwood Mall parking lot Wednesday afternoon.
The suspect is 25-year-old man from Everett. After receiving several tips, police learned that he had checked himself into Stevens Hospital for an unknown reason.
With detectives on his trail, the suspect left the hospital this morning wearing blue scrubs. Officers broadcast the information to other police agencies, and Snohomish County Sheriff’s deputies arrested him at an Everett park-and-ride lot after he got off a bus.
He’s been booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of one count first degree robbery.
Detectives are investigating whether he’s connected to any other recent robberies in the area.
