MONROE — A man and woman robbed a busy Starbucks early yesterday morning and wound up serving coffee through the drive-up window for at least 30 minutes to make additional cash. They then waited until business slowed enough to make a getaway.
Neither police nor Starbucks would say how much money the pair made off with.
Police arrested two suspects Tuesday night after trailing their car from the Lake Stevens area to a service station. A witness identified the pair as the barista bandits, police said in a news release.
No one was injured in the early-morning holdup, and no property was damaged, said Jan O’Neil, Monroe police spokeswoman. But the incident was “weird and stressful” for the employees.
