Chelan Gas Station Robbery: Teen Suspect in Custody

New information has emerged regarding the apparent robbery of a Safeway-affiliated gas station in Chelan.

According to the Chelan County Sheriff's Office, at 9:47 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 25, a masked male entered the gas station, possibly covertly wielding a knife (that's what he indicated to the clerk). He was wearing a "pink face mask, sunglasses and a black shirt," writes Chief Ryan Moody. "Despite being in the area at the time the incident was reported, deputies were unable to locate the suspect due to a delay of it being reported."

In time deputies obtained surveillance footage of the robbery.
