Seattle Police are searching for a street robbery crew after two overnight gunpoint hold-ups in the city including one targeting three people as they walked back to the Seattle University campus early Wednesday morning.

Police say the group of three were robbed at gunpoint near 10th and Jefferson around 2 AM:

On 11-17-2021 at 0159 hours, officers responded to the area of 10 Av / E Jefferson St where they located 3 victims who reported they were walking back to Seattle U when a vehicle stopped, and 3 masked males exited the vehicle and started following the victims. One of the male suspects produced a silver revolver and the group robbed the 3 victims of their belongings. The suspects then entered their vehicle and fled southbound through an alley.

SPD says the group appears to have also been responsible for a similar robbery only 40 minutes earlier in South Seattle. Police were searching for a vehicle believed to have been used in both robberies.

There were no reported serious injuries in the robbery near Seattle U. SPD has not announced any arrests in the investigation.
