Video: Police searching for suspects in Bothell robbery

Police are searching for two suspects in the robbery of a Bothell fruit market Sunday evening.

According to police, two men forced the night manager of the Yakima Fruit Market on SR 522 to open the office safe at gunpoint.

The 26-year-old night manager complied with robbers, giving them an undisclosed amount of cash from the safe. The suspects forced him to the floor, then fled on foot.

Police recovered a security video and are hoping that it could lead to a tip about the suspects' identities.

The men were described as being in their 20's, wearing ski masks and one was holding a black semi-automatic handgun. One was about six-foot two inches tall and wore a FILA windshirt and jeans. The other suspect was about five-foot eight inches tall and was wearing a black hoodie and jeans.

Anyone with information regarding the suspects has been asked to call the Bothell Police Department (425) 487- 5551.

    That is just the feeling I got watching the 12 second clip. Look how casual these two guys are... That is not consistent with masked armed robbery suspects. I am also going to guess the take was quite large and if it is the case that would also lead towards it being a set up; especially since armed robbers don't usually pick fruit stands or business like this. It happens more often than you might think...
