LACEY, Wash. — The Lacey Police Department says that a man and a woman were arrested after stealing a victim’s wallet at gunpoint in a fast-food restaurant parking lot.

Police say that the two suspects went up to the victim’s car and smashed his driver’s side window with a hammer.

After smashing the window, one of the suspects pointed a gun at him and demanded that he give over his wallet.

They left in a blue SUV after the robbery was completed.
