TIMELY WARNING ROBBERY: UPDATE - Seattle Campus
Three arrests in two robbery cases in the University District.
On February 3 and 4, Seattle Police Robbery Detectives arrested three suspects in the assault and robbery of three University of Washington students in two separate incidents on January 10 and January 17. The January 10th incident occurred at 2:00 a.m. in the 4500 block of 16th Avenue NE when three suspects robbed two male victims at gunpoint. The January 17 incident occurred at approximately 2:40 a.m. when two of the suspects pistol-whipped and robbed two of the victims in the 1600 block of NE 47th Street. The suspects also threatened a third victim with a firearm.
SPD Robbery Detectives working in conjunction with the U.S. Army's Criminal Investigation Division developed information that two Fort Lewis-based soldiers were involved in the armed robberies. One suspect is a 19-year-old-male from Atlanta, Georgia. The second suspect is a 20-year-old male from Nashville, Tennessee. Both were arrested Feb 3 at Fort Lewis by Seattle Police Robbery Detectives with the assistance of Army CID agents. The two were taken to SPD Headquarters, where they were booked into King County Jail. On Feb. 4, Seattle Police, with the assistance of the Army's CID, arrested a third suspect at Fort Lewis, a 21-year-old male from Central Falls, Rhode Island. This suspect was present at the January 17th incident, but did not participate in the actual robbery or assault itself. He, too, was booked into the King County Jail. All three suspects remain in jail under arrest for felony robbery and assault.
