  • Brazen cruiser boost: It was so bizarre, the Seattle Police dispatcher had to ask the officer to repeat it. Early Thursday morning a man locked himself inside a SPD patrol car at 11th and Pine and started driving it away, according to SPD radio traffic. The brazen joy ride, which happened just down the street from the East Precinct station, only lasted a few seconds before the officer caught up with the suspect and took him into custody. SPD tells CHS an investigation is ongoing.
  • Front door robbery: Seattle Police responded Loretta Pl and Summit Ave E early Thursday morning after a resident there reported being robbed at gunpoint at his front door. No shots were fired and no injuries were reported, according to SPD radio traffic. After the robbery, the victim told police he received several anonymous calls telling him the suspect was at a Motel 6 in SeaTac.
  • Boylston street robbery: A man called 911 early Wednesday morning after he was robbed at knife point near Boylston and E Union, according to SPD reports. The victim told police through a translator that the suspect fled the scene before officers arrived.
