Spokane Police, acting on a citizen tip, located and arrested three people for the robbery of the Rite Aid (5840 N. Division) less than 24 hours after the incident. An alert citizen called just before 5 PM with specific information about the people involved. Officers were able to locate the three suspects at a residence in the 7000 block of North Colton where they were arrested without incident.

Patrol officers arrested 18-year-old Brandon L Worswick and two juvenile males for First Degree Robbery. Worswick and one juvenile are also charged with Second Degree Assault.

Without the tip of the alert citizen, these subjects may still be at large. This is another example of citizen involvement being key to keeping our community safe.
