GEORGE, Wash. (14FEB2014) – Grant County Detectives are asking the public for help finding four masked gunman who robbed Sandoval’s Market in George last night.

A black 2002 Chrevrolet Avalanche was seen in front of the store at the time of the robbery. The Avalanche was found abandoned a short distance away on Beverly Burke Road Southwest after the robbery.
