A man told police he was robbed at knifepoint in the 700 block of Bellevue Ave E early Tuesday morning.

Arriving officers found a man at Bellevue Ave E and Bellevue Ct E who told them he had been held up by two black males in their 20s. One of the suspects brandished a small pocket knife, the man said. We do not have details of what was taken from the victim.

SPD searched the area after the 1:30 AM robbery and a K-9 unit also checked the bike trail along I-5 near Melrose and Roy but did not turn up the suspects.

We'll watch for more details when the full SPD incident report is released.

enough is enough
if the city hadn't closed Melrose to prevent it from going all the way through to Lakeview on the other end, a cop car could drive the length and patrol more often. Not that they would, likely.
