WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Carjacking investigation

If you wondered what the big police response at 10th/Henderson [map] in Highland Park at noontime was all about – it was related to a reported armed carjacking. After that happened near 2nd SW and SW Michigan (by the 1st Avenue South Bridge), police tracked the car (in our photo above) up the Highland Park Way hill and southward to 10th/Henderson, where everybody bailed out of it. At least one person – possibly the armed woman who was believed to be at the wheel – was reported to have fled in a second vehicle; two others were on foot after abandoning the car, and police arrested one suspected accomplice found nearby.

The investigation is being turned over to robbery detectives.

      Scanner traffic early on said the one with the gun might be red-haired. That’s it, sorry.

    Yeah they didn’t catch or prevent… this is called Crime WATCH for a reason.Wonder what drives someone in this instance to resort to violent crime and threats or perhaps easier to just vote Good / Bad and never solve the underlying problems. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
