PROSSER, Wash. — Two men were arrested after an armed robbery at a Prosser auction company Monday afternoon, and police are looking for a third suspect.
The incident was reported about 4 p.m. at C & L Auction, 13081 W. Shelby Road, about two miles north of Prosser.
Benton County sheriff’s officials say three suspects arrived at the business, and one of them entered and demanded money while showing a gun. The trio left in a vehicle with several hundred dollars.
Deputies soon located the vehicle, traveling north on Gap Road near Kingtull Road, and tried to stop it. But a 40-year-old occupant fled into an orchard as the vehicle continued.
A police dog tracked the running suspect, who traveled more than a mile before unsuccessfully trying to hide, authorities said.
The car was later found abandoned on Wilgus Road.
A 22-year-old suspect was later located in Pasco, officials said.
Both of the arrested men were jailed on suspicion of first-degree robbery.
