Investigators say both crimes happened in the 8000 block of Valley Road Northeast in Moses Lake, with one taking place at the Dollar General store and the other at nearby Cascade Grocery, and that a suspect in both crimes is currently in custody.

Anyone with information about the motorcycle or its owner is being asked to contact Sheriff's Detective Katrina Ball at 509-237-3384.
