Update: Police search after robbery at Baskin-Robbins

August 15, 2011 at 10:27 pm | In Crime, West Seattle news | 17 Comments

10:27 PM: Police are at the Baskin-Robbins ice-cream shop on Admiral Way, where an armed robbery was reported. Nobody hurt. No description(s) so far. We have a crew there; more as we get it.

11:30 PM: Officers have been talking with employees and checking for prints; they told us they’re still “sorting out” what happened. WSB contributor Katie Meyer says the original scanner call mentioned three suspects.

TUESDAY MORNING UPDATE: We have just spoken with SPD and will put details in a separate update – bottom line, no one arrested so far.

  2. Crazy, I can’t imagine there was much money to steal. So makes me wonder what else is going on.

  3. Coming up Admiral way I saw two cop cars short cut up to 36th, then another four race up admiral way.
    Another was spot lighting thru Hiwatha Park. Gotta hand it to SPD for a blazing response. I hope they get their robber.

  5. sounds like there was only one employee working: if they hire teens isn’t that illegal to have them working all by themselves?

  7. Just saw police spot lighting by the Holy Rosary church. I’m assuming it’s related. :/ Hope they find ‘em.

  10. Any connection to the Hamilton View Point Park’s stabbing incident? Not that far away geographically and it is another nice summer night . . . have to wonder.

  11. This is terrible news. Hope they catch the jerks and they do a lot of time for terrorizing the nice people at Baskin & Robbins.

  12. If they do catch these robbers they’ll likely get a slap on the hand, and 34 days in jail just like the guy who held up the computer store in the junction.

  14. All the best to the staff at B & R. – and I hope the police get the criminals quickly. We don’t need them free and terrorizing our neighborhood.

  16. Thank you for your concern everybody, I am definately okay, just a little shaken up. And obviously the robbers needed to go through great lengths to get some money. All we can do now is pray that they get caught.
