Tumwater Police are searching for an armed man who robbed the Motel 6 on Lee Street Tuesday night.

Around 8 P.M., a man wearing a black sleeveless vest, a black baseball cap, and sunglasses entered the lobby of the hotel, pointed a gun at the front desk worker, and demanded money, according to a Tumwater Police Department flyer.

After the desk worker gave him some money, he fled on foot, the flyer reads.

Police are urging anyone who recognizes the individual to contact Tumwater Police at 360-754-4200 or Thurston County Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
