A  15-year-old suspect in multiple car thefts was arrested Sunday at the Northgate Mall food court.

Seattle Police explain that gang unit detectives working a robbery prevention detail at the mall spotted the teen “who tried to make a break for it but did not evade apprehension a second time.”

The first time was Friday morning, when Bothell police arrested nine suspects attempting to steal multiple vehicles from a car lot. The Bothell/Kenmore reporter has the story here.

Two teens got away that morning. One is still at large.

Police say the teens are also suspects in car dealership robberies in Lake City and Edmonds.

There’s a police press release titled “From the food court to juvenile court” here.

Our news partner The Seattle Times has a short story here.

Stealing or prowling cars is the most common crime reported in Seattle, and more juveniles are arrested at Northgate than any other place in the city.
