The Kirkland Police Department responded to an armed robbery call from the Totem Lake Fred Meyer Jewelers on Feb. 8.

“The suspect spoke with a salesperson and began looking at various rings with the assistance of the employee,” said Kirkland Police Department spokesperson Rob Saloum. “While looking at a ring and having it in his possession, the suspect made a gesture to the salesperson that he had a firearm in his waistband and then fled the store on foot.”

The call was received by police at 6:43 p.m. and the suspect was already gone by the time they arrived. The Kirkland Police Station is located just behind the Fred Meyer store.

The suspect is described as a black male adult, medium build, in his late 20s to early 30s, wearing a black or brown hooded sweatshirt, and blue jeans, according to police.

Kirkland Police Detectives are asking for anyone with information on the suspect or the robbery to contact them. Det. Mark Brown can be reached at at 425-587-3512 or email at mbrown@kirklandwa.gov.
