SEATTLE —Seattle police arrested a 17-year-old boy for an armed robbery at a Walgreens in West Seattle on Saturday afternoon.
The crime was reported occurred at 4:26 p.m. in the 6300 block of 35th Ave. Southwest, where officers determined two males had robbed the store at gunpoint, stealing cash from the register.
A tracker placed inside the stolen cash provided officers with location updates, leading them to one of the suspects. The teenage boy tried to escape on foot but was caught by police.
During the chase, police believe the boy discarded a gun, which was later found by a K9 team from the Arson/Bomb Squad. The team recovered a loaded handgun with an extended magazine from nearby foliage.
Officers also recovered $1,523 in stolen cash.
Shortly after the arrest, the Federal Way Police Department contacted Seattle police, confirming that two suspects matching similar descriptions had robbed another Walgreens pharmacy about an hour earlier in Federal Way. The Federal Way police found probable cause for charges against the teen for his involvement in the previous robbery.
The boy was booked into juvenile detention at the Judge Patricia H. Clark Children & Family Justice Center on multiple charges. The second suspect remains at large, and the investigation is ongoing, assigned to the Robbery Unit.Authorities urge anyone with information to call the SPD Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000.
