Police have arrested the suspects responsible for the most recent string of robberies that have taken place in Magnolia and a slew of other Seattle neighborhoods.
The Magnolia robbery occurred on Magnolia Boulevard in the early morning hours last week in which thieves walked up to four people asking for drugs. When no drugs were proffered, the thieves robbed them.
Police have also learned from Magnolia residents that there have been sightings of suspicious persons walking around Magnolia in the late night, early morning hours looking into cars, paying close attention to homes.
When confronted by a block watcher, said Terrie Johnston, crime prevention coordinator for West Precinct, the group ran away. This certainly warrants a 911 call. Anyone trying door handles of parked cars, going up into the yards of homes, studying the contents of vehicles, though not illegal, is suspicious, she said.
"We need you to report suspicious activity to 911," Johnston added. "Try to get good descriptions of any cars that may be involved, and the direction headed."
Many SPD commanders live on Queen Anne and Magnolia, and even if you know them well enough to call them at home w/reports of neighborhood suspicions, the first number to call is 911 so a Queen Sector car can be dispatched.
Johnston wished to thank neighborhood block captains and contacts for their efforts and forwarding police emails about the Crime Prevention office of SPD West Precinct.
To schedule a free home security survey, or a Block Watch meeting, contact Johnston at the West Precinct at 684-4741.
