A 20-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday, April 16, in connection with the alleged armed robberies of two massage parlors in Thurston County.
The massage parlors, whose names were not disclosed, are located in Olympia and Lacey, the Lacey Police Department said in a social media post.
"Video confirmed that the same male was the suspect in both (robberies) and Olympia & Lacey Detectives were able to identify the 20 year old male," the Lacey Police Department said.
"Yesterday (April 16), we teamed up with our friends at Olympia Police Departmen and a combination of patrol, CRU and detectives took the suspect in to custody."
Several firearms were recovered, as well as a balaclava (a ski mask) and the sweatshirt the suspect was seen wearing in the video of the Lacey incident.
The suspect, whose name was not released, was booked into jail for robbery in the first degree and assault in the first degree.
"Great work to all involved for getting this dangerous criminal off the street!" the Lacey Police Department said.

Come ON!!!!!!!!!! This guy is walking around with two handguns and what I think may be a speed loader, is attacking people in a massage parlor so he knows there won't be any guns, and we don't know his name? He has been arrested? PICTURES AND NAME PLEASE.
And let me guess. The reason there's no pic or name is because the robber is already back on the streets. Catch and release, right?

Curious about what distinguishes these “massage parlors” from the many massage therapists offices? I thought most parlors went the way of strip clubs in the 1980s. Recent investigations of parlors in the Tri-Cities found parlors in the *** trafficking business. Maybe there’s more to this story?

after some research I learned that what I thought was a speed loader is instead a FIFTY round magazine for a hand gun.
What the heck? This guy is walking around with enough ammunition to take out a platoon. Any bets he's already a felon and is prohibited from carrying guns?
Three strikes, jerk. Go to jail. Go directly to jail and stay the heck there.
