Sheriff's office searching for three suspects after Birch Bay robbery

Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) deputies are searching for three suspects after a robbery at a Kickerville Road residence late at night on April 11.

Two women in their 20s wearing surgical masks arrived to a Birch Bay man’s home in the 8000 block of Kickerville Road, near the corner of Birch Bay-Lynden Road, around 11:30 p.m. on April 11, according to WCSO. The homeowner allowed the women into his home after they asked to use his phone because they claimed they were having car trouble.

A masked man with a handgun then entered the home and one of the women showed she was also carrying a gun, according to WCSO. At gunpoint, the suspects forced the homeowner to the ground while they raided his home and stole cash, firearms and electronics.

A WCSO K-9 track brought no leads after the three suspects fled. The suspects’ identities and whereabouts are unknown as the investigation remains active.

WCSO has determined probable cause to arrest the three suspects on first-degree burglary, first-degree robbery, first-degree assault and theft of firearms.
