Three armed robbers held up a USPS driver in Lynnwood on Monday, then fled in what turned out to be a stolen car.

Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office spotted the car and chased the suspects into Shoreline, then lost sight of the vehicle.

It was found abandoned on Perkins Way in Shoreline.

Shoreline PD assisted with perimeter. A construction worker contacted a Shoreline officer and said he saw three males running on foot and gave the location. They matched the description of the suspects.

A Snohomish County K9 was taken to the area, tracked the suspects and found them behind a house in the 18500 block of 25th NE.  Snohomish County Sheriff's deputies took the suspects into custody.

There was no report of injuries to the USPS driver.
