Theft turns to robbery at Northtown Mall
Police are looking for a man who pulled a knife on a shoe store employee Tuesday night at the Northtown Mall.
The manager at Champs Sports told officers the man tried on a pair of shoes, then left without paying and threatened the manager with a knife when confronted, according to the Spokane Police Department. No one was injured.
The man ran through the mall and exited on the east side, then continued running east.
A K-9 track was unsuccessful. The robber is described as a white man, 20 to 30 years old, 6-feet tall and 180 pounds. He wore a blue coat over a dark hoodie and a stocking cap.
