Posted by Geeky Swedes on March 21st, 2011

Two suspects were arrested on Saturday night after a victim says he was robbed on the street. According to police, the victim was on NW 70th Street near 16th Ave NW just before 9 p.m when two suspects confronted him. “One of the suspects demanded the victim’s wallet while the other suspect stood with his hand in his waistband, indicating he had a weapon,” police say. The victim threw his wallet at the suspects and ran. He called 911 and officers arrived quickly, according to police. An 18- and 22-year-old were positively identified by the victim and a witness and the two suspects were arrested and booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Robbery. No weapon was ever recovered, though police did find the stolen wallet and a ski mask.
