Police investigating attempted armed robbery

Coeur d'Alene Police Detectives are investigating an attempted armed robbery that occurred in the 900 block of Birch Avenue on Sunday around 3:30 p.m.

Two males, both age 24, told police they gave a friend of theirs a ride in their car and he attempted to rob them of their wallet and phones at gunpoint. The victims claimed the suspect fired one shot from a handgun, causing damage to the sunroof of their vehicle.

The male victims said they pulled their vehicle over in the 900 block of Birch and fled from it. The suspect also fled on foot and returned to his residence in the 1000 block of N. 11th Street.

Patrol officers responded to his residence and after some discussion were able to convince the male suspect to be taken into custody without incident. The investigation is ongoing.
