Robber Snatches Fanny Pack

An Oregon woman waiting in a relative’s car was robbed in front of the Spokane Intermodal Transportation Center, 221 W. First, on Friday, according to Spokane police.

The woman, who was not identified, told police that while her niece was at the Greyhound bus counter, a man opened the car’s driver-side door and grabbed her light blue fanny pack. She tried to hold on, but the robber wrestled it away from her and ran away.

The woman suffered a cut wrist but did not require medical attention, police said.

The man was described as a white male in his mid-30s, about 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds with brown hair. The woman’s pack had a black leather wallet, her house keys, eyeglasses and several credit cards.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crime Check 456-2233.

Four charged in burglary

Police responding to a report of burglary at the 1500 block of East First Avenue arrested four suspects June 29.

When the officers arrived on scene, they spotted two teenage girls sitting in the resident’s yard, police said. The two admitted watching the burglary, but officers eventually determined they were involved.

After interviewing the girls and witnesses, police arrested 24-year-old Donald Edward Smith, 1513 E. Pacific, and 18-year-old Andy Todd Orlando of Colbert. The girls, also arrested, were not identified.

Police were able to recover stolen property.

The two girls were booked into juvenile detention on first-degree burglary charges, and Smith and Orlando were booked into the Spokane County Jail on the same counts.
