- Teens arrested: SPD reports it arrested three teen suspects aged 12, 15, and 16 after a man was robbed at gunpoint and a woman was punched in the face and her pack stolen Friday afternoon in the Central District:
Shortly after 2:30 p.m., Seattle Police responded to 16th Avenue and E Yesler for a report of a robbery. The 39-year-old female victim said three teens grabbed her fanny pack and struggled with her to take it. They punched her in the face and fled on foot without the fanny pack. The second victim, a 39-year-old male, said he was contacted by three juvenile males at 17th Avenue and Spruce St. One of the juvenile males pointed a gun at the victim and demanded he give them his cash. The victim complied and the suspects fled on foot.
SPD says the teens are also suspected of stealing a delivery driver’s wallet from his car earlier in the day. SPD did not say how officers located the teens but reports that a handgun was recovered during the arrest. The teenagers were booked into Youth Services Center for investigation of armed robbery, according to SPD. - Goodwill shoplifting fracas: A Monday, November 21st noontime reported shoplifting incident at the Capitol Hill Goodwill turned ugly when the suspect threatened she would shoot staff as they attempted to bar her exit.

There were no reported injuries.
