1:28 PM: Thanks for the tips. The police search in the Westwood Village/Roxhill Park this past half-hour followed a report of an armed robbery. We’re still catching up on details – more to come.
1:33 PM: Police at the scene tell us the victim was robbed in the park. The search has wrapped up; they lost the robber’s trail in the Westwood Village parking lot (which could mean he got away in a car). He was described initially as a Black man in his 20s, 6’1″, thin, red jacket, armed with a handgun.
Hello, just saw someone who fits this exact description at the 711 on California in in down town California.
I wonder if this had anything to do with the Hyundai that flew past all traffic at a very scary rate of speed…in the turn lane on 35th near Trenton…soon followed by SPD in hot pursuit….by the time I got home, chopper was circling. This place is scarier all of the time. I hope that you all stay safe this holiday season. Peace and Love.
Heads up that the vehicle licensing office closed for the day because of the incident.
Oh no, those are such sweet ladies working there. Sorry they had to experience that.
I wonder why? The robbery was in Roxhill Park and all other Westwood Village businesses remain open.
Because they can’t shut down westwood village just for a robbery. They dont shut the whole place down for a fire.
Incident? I’m confused as to how the park robbery is related to the licensing agency, but I’m hoping it’s indirect, if at all…And yes, they are especially nice in that office…hopefully nothing too bad involved them…Please let me know what I’m missing…Thanks. 🌻
Unfortunately, I don’t have details. I swung by around 2 to convert a car title, and their doors were locked with signs posted on their door that they’d closed for the day because of the search for the suspect.
Hey everyone! We do apologize for closing early and any inconvenience this may have caused to anyone!! We take the safety of our employees and customer very seriously. We closed for safety reasons ONLY. We are back open regular hours today!!!
This sounds like exactly the same description we’ve seen in other incidents in WS recently:“He was described initially as a Black man in his 20s, 6’1″, thin, red jacket, armed with a handgun.”
Do you think the new members on the city council will do anything to make WS and greater Seattle safer?
It really doesn’t matter who is on the s—-y council if you can’t hire officers in the first place.
They’re saying the same thing that all the city council members before them said and look where we are now I don’t trust any of them
Scary indeed. I was worried last night coming out of QFC after dark and none of the lights in the parking lot in front of the store were working.
I’d be more worried about eating whatever I just bought at Westwood QFC
Wow, that is super uncalled for and not sure what you were talking about.There is nothing wrong with the food at that grocery store at all.
I have to say that the Baked and Fried Chicken options at QFC are tasty and I have not gotten sick from them.
Tom, I’ve never heard of anyone being robbed by a frozen Stouffer’s TV dinner from QFC.
LOL Rhonda!
Anyway I’ve been shopping at that QFC for almost 25 years and am still not dead so I don’t understand Tom’s comment either.
Sorry, comment time is over.
