Update: Big police response to Admiral; 2 reported in custody

| Crime | West Seattle news | West Seattle police

(Added 7:29 pm, WSB cameraphone photo of the car that police are searching)
ORIGINAL REPORT, 7:08 PM: Still checking to find out why half a dozen Seattle Police cars went screaming past Delridge Library, northbound, a short time ago (we saw/heard them while at the library covering the North Delridge Neighborhood Council meeting). If you’re seeing a big police response where you are – please let us know.

7:11 PM: Our crew found them – and thanks to the commenter who also reports – they’re in the Admiral District, by Jack in the Box. Now we’re working to find out why. No injury-involving incidents, according to the 911 log. Witnesses at the scene say that one man appears to be handcuffed.

7:18 PM: SPD Lt. Ron Smith tells WSB that it has to do with an auto-theft case and two people are in custody.

7:29 PM: That’s also the word from a sergeant who talked to our crew at the scene. Added a cameraphone photo of the apparently stolen-and-recovered car, in the alley between Jack in the Box and Alki Bike and Board, just north of Admiral Safeway.

Thanks. I called our crew and turns out they are already there. Now we’re trying to find out what happened.

Not sure which call is yours but one was robbery one was shots fired although I believe that the shots fired was on jackson

This is a stolen-car call, a Lt. has confirmed via e-mail and a Sgt. at the scene. Thanks! Jackson’s quite some distance from here. This would be SW Admiral Way.

Wow. Less than 5 minutes prior to this, I was in that alley headed into the Jack’s drive-through… Glad I got out of there when I did!
