FOLLOWUP: Arrest in Arbor Heights followed robbery at Westwood Village

| Arbor Heights | Crime | West Seattle news | Westwood

Thanks to everyone who tipped us about a big police response at an Arbor Heights house last night. We have finally obtained Seattle Police confirmation that the arrest made there was linked to the robbery we covered earlier in the evening at the Westwood Village Game Stop store. A witness to the robbery tells WSB they saw a getaway vehicle and provided its description and license plate to police. Officers found the vehicle at a home near 35th and 104th in Arbor Heights and, with a warrant, searched the house and arrested a 30-year-old man who is now in the King County Jail; the vehicle was towed as evidence. We’re expecting a few more details from police this afternoon, and will add them when available, but after many inquiries today about the AH response, we wanted to publish this as soon as we had confirmation of the link.

In the last month, there has been at least one burglary and another attempted burglary in a 2 block radius of this location. These are incidents I have personal knowledge of, but there could be more. I wonder if it’s the house I’m thinking of…wish there were a way to find out.

BTW WSB, the link provided is to the Delridge shooting, not the Game Stop robbery.

Way to step up and do the right thing, Witness.

Seriously good to act on behalf of your community.

Thank you.

Great to hear. Stay vigilant, all. The crazy holiday season is upon us, be extra weary and report anything suspicious. Let’s get these miscreants where they belong, in jail.

Ive lived in West Seattle my entire life and have been shopping in Westwood for most of it. Seems to me we didn’t have nearly as many problems before the rapid ride implementation.

Sorry, comment time is over.
