Three suspects were identified on Tuesday by the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) after they allegedly claimed to be armed with a gun during a robbery of a Poulsbo business.

KCSO positively identified the three suspects wanted in connection with the robbery and issued warrants for their arrest. Additionally, the information has been forwarded to the Kitsap County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, KCSO announced.

On March 9, at approximately 11:20 p.m., the three suspects walked in through the front entrance of the Hilltop Grocery in Poulsbo.

The three men walked around inside the store for a short while before leaving the store altogether. Soon after, two of the suspects reentered the business.

One of the suspects reached around the counter to grab electronic cigarettes, while the other allegedly yelled, “I’ve got a gun.”

The other suspect was believed to have stolen alcohol from the cooler and eventually ran out of the store.

If anyone can identify either of the three individuals involved, KCSO urges any information to be sent to KCSOTips@kitsap.gov.
