Police have arrested two male teenagers in connection with a string of armed robberies around Seattle, including incidents in Ballard.
On Friday last week, detectives from SPD’s Robbery Unit and the King County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit arrested an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old at two separate locations in West Seattle.
Police believe they’re responsible for about a dozen armed robberies in several neighborhoods, including Ballard, West Seattle, Sea-Tac, Burien, and White Center over the past month.
Investigators found a .38 caliber revolver in the 18-year-old’s possession during the arrest.
The suspects were booked into King County Jail and the Youth Services Center. Police say they’re still looking for other suspects in connection with the robberies, and are working with the King County Sheriff’s Office to continue the investigation.
