What time did this occur, and it there a case number yet? I was sitting in the parking lot across California from Great American Diner at 3:10 and saw a guy with a bandana around his neck matching that description. I’d love to give this info to the police, he hopped into an older Subaru and they took off E on Edmunds. 3-4 total occupants in the car.

You’ve already called but I’ll add the case # to the post; it was broadcast fairly quickly because they were sending a security-cam pic to SPD citywide (I do wish they’d share those with the media as was done some years back) – 24-120381

I did call 911 and gave the dispatcher all the info. He said an officer would reach out if they needed anything more. Thank you WSB for amazing and timely reporting, I never would have thought anything of what I saw had I not read this article.
