At 2:39 a.m. May 1, an officer was dispatched to 19th Street and Wycoff Avenue, responding to an armed robbery. According to the victim, who was coming from the Seattle-Bremerton ferry terminal, three black males had held him at gun point approximately 10 minutes earlier that night, stealing his wallet, cell phone, a bag of toiletries and a silver cigarette case. The victim described the suspects’ vehicle as “silvery, green and box-like,” but was unable to provide a license plate number. The confrontation, according to the victim, began after the suspects’ car passed him then circled back in his direction. The suspects ambushed the victim, holding a pistol to his temple and threatening to hurt him. After making out with the victim’s belongings, the suspects fled. The victim described each suspect, the getaway car and weapon as best he could, but no arrests were made. The incident is currently under investigation.
