Update Sept. 14: Police today confirmed the suspect arrested here on Tuesday was wanted for a home invasion robbery that occurred on Aug. 31st in the 400 block of East Union Street.

At approximately 7 p.m. on that day, a known female suspect and the male suspect (yesterday’s arrest) came to the victim’s door.  Both were armed with handguns. The suspects forced their way into the victim’s apartment and demanded money and drugs from the victim.  They then left after robbing the victim.  Detectives were able to track down and arrest the female suspect in West Seattle on September 6th.  Information developed during the investigation identified the male suspect, and a bulletin was sent out to officers.  Yesterday, while on patrol, two alert officers observed the suspect in the car in North Seattle.

A suspect in an earlier home invasion robbery was arrested just north of Maple Leaf this afternoon after a crash and a short police chase, officers said.

The incident took place just before 1:30 p.m. when patrol officers spotted a wanted robbery suspect driving near Northeast 107th Street and 15th Avenue Northeast, police said.

After the officers spotted the suspect, the suspect began speeding away from the patrol car and collided into an occupied moving motor vehicle (it is unknown at this time if the officers had attempted to initiate a vehicle stop prior to the suspect fleeing).

The occupant of the victim vehicle was not injured. Immediately after the collision, the suspect fled the crash scene on foot.

Officers engaged in a foot pursuit while additional officers converged on the area. The suspect was located and taken into custody.

Officers said the home invasion robbery occurred in the city within the last few weeks.

According to emails and comments on our Facebook page, the arrest involved multiple sirens, overhead helicopters (possibly news crews) and a half-dozen officers with drawn weapons.

Publicola is reporting the home invasion robbery took place on Capitol Hill last month.

Last month officers crashed through neighborhood backyards several times in pursuit of suspects. Our stories are here and here.

  1. Good Job-I saw a few police cruisers go by my Victory Heights home yesterday at this time, followed by an officer with an extremely large German Shepard crossing the 15th NE bridge.
