Robbery at Shadle Payless Shoes

Spokane Police are investigating an armed robbery at the Shadle Payless Shoes on Wellesley Avenue around 4 p.m. today. The robber showed a handgun and threatened the clerk, according to police. The man is described as white, about 50 years old, skinny and with a trimmed beard. He was reportedly wearing a grey baseball cap. No other clothing description is available because the numerous witnesses that saw the man run out of the store gave conflicting information on what color clothing he was wearing, said Cpl. Jordan Ferguson. “They could agree on the cap,” he said. Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Crime Check at 456-2233.
