West Seattle Crime Watch: Morgan Junction robbery investigation

2:17 AM: Thanks to the texters who reported major police activity in Morgan Junction very early today. So far we haven’t been able to get full details, but we know police are/were investigating an armed robbery in the 6500 block of California SW, where one SPD car remained by the time we got there, and that it might be linked to a robbery elsewhere in the city. That’s according to radio communications, which described the robber as a black man in his early 20s, 6 feet tall, very thin, red face mask, red shirt, black pants, black handgun, with two female accomplices, and a possible silver getaway car. We’ll add any additional details we are able to get from police later this morning.

9:13 AM: Police confirm the Subway store itself was held up. No further confirmation, though, on whether it was involved to any other robberies, and no arrest(s) reported so far.

was this robbery inside the Subway? or out on the street?

Police just confirmed to us that the holdup was inside the business, so I have updated the story. Last night, I had no way to find out, as it was past closing time at the store, officers had departed the area (except for that one car in the photo), and our sometimes-available overnight contacts were not available. – TR
