CRIME WATCH: Carjacked in South Seattle, found in West Seattle

Thanks for the tip and photo. That police response in the 2800 block of SW Raymond this afternoon led to recovery of a stolen car, taken in an armed carjacking north of Columbia City. According to police-radio archives, the carjacking happened at MLK Way and South Adams around 2 pm; at 3 pm, some sort of tracking showed the car’s location and indicated it wasn’t moving. Police went to the location and found the car, which was empty; they deployed a K-9 to try to track whoever had been inside, but so far as we can tell, no one was found. The recovered car, described only as a “gray SUV,” was impounded. We’ll follow up with police tomorrow.

Excellent that this vehicle was capable of being tracked(possibly using an itag) and excellent work on the part of SPD to get on top of this and find the car. Thanks for adding a dog to try to find the thieves.. very nice too hear about the times that SPD can get on a situation quickly and do the kind of work we would hope for. Thanks, SPD.❤️ to the owner of the car.: smart of you and I’m glad you got your vehicle back. Meanwhile, I hope they catch the losers that stole that car
