Yakima- men w/machetes rob store

YAKIMA, Wash. — Two men armed with machetes early this morning robbed the Walgreens store at Summitview and 40th avenues, police say.

The two men, who used bandannas to cover their faces, entered the store about 2:40 a.m., according to a news release from the Yakima Police Department.

They were given an undisclosed amount of cash and cigarettes before fleeing in a maroon Pontiac Grand Am, described as a late 1980s to early ’90s model, police said.

The three employees and one customer in the store were not hurt.

Both men were described as 18 to 20 years old and between 160 and 200 pounds. They were wearing dark clothing.

Police ask anyone with information about the case to call 509-575-6200.
