How many places of business have been robbed in the past one to five years in West Seattle? How many of those same places of business have been robbed more than once? It seems that would be important information for Rob Saka.

Armed robbery for a bottle of wine. This isn’t an actual robbery to obtain items/$$$. It seems to me this is like a trophy robbery.That’s a scary thing. They are described as young teens. When one of these robberies goes sideways and pulls the trigger. Two lives are generally lost…

Pretty soon AI will be able to follow robbers after a robbery by a cashier pressing a button.

The sooner the better! Time to close the revolving door on these thugs that continue to tear at the fabric that makes West Seattle a great place to live.

Sorry, comment time is over.
