Three Ferndale men face charges for a robbery that took place on July 27 in Bellingham, where they broke into a home and assaulted a resident. The suspects used brass knuckles and bare fists, escaping with two cell phones and a safe containing narcotics. Police Lt. Claudia Murphy reported that Tyler Mattingly, 20, has been in custody since August on a separate charge. Alec Dunn-Greketis, 36, was apprehended last week in downtown Bellingham, while Daniel Bock, 43, turned himself in on September 16.
