Robbery Detectives found a robber hiding out at an area motel. On 12/24/13, a suspect entered the QFC store on Holman Road and filled a grocery cart full of automotive products and left the store with the items in the cart without making any attempt to pay.  He was contacted outside the store by a store employee who requested that he pay for the items.
