A 22-year-old man was arrested in Pike/Pine early Monday for stealing a cell phone from a pedestrian after officers watched him do it, according to Seattle Police. Officers also found a backpack allegedly connected to the suspect with more cell phones inside.

Two bike patrol officers were stopped by a man at the 900 block of E Pike around 2 AM Monday who said another man had tried to take his cell phone. As the victim was finishing his interview with police, he identified the suspect across the street.

According to SPD, officers watched the suspect approach a group of people who then quickly scattered. Those in the group told officers the man had just stolen a cell phone from one of them. Officers followed the suspect to the 11th Ave parking lot of the Central Lutheran Church where he was arrested for robbery.

Meanwhile, another phone grab Sunday night went better for the thief. Police were called to a Broadway burger joint late Sunday to a report that a phone thief had entered the restaurant and took off running with a patron’s phone. There were no arrests.
