WHITE CENTER CRIME WATCH: Helicopter search after robbery, assault (updated Wednesday)
10:28 PM TUESDAY: Thanks for the tip about Guardian One over White Center. We had just heard an FYI broadcast on Seattle Police radio about a White Center robbery a short time ago, at 10261 16th SW (which cross-references to a smoke shop and salon). The robbers are reported to have pistol-whipped someone. No description available so far other than “two men.”
11:06 AM WEDNESDAY: We followed up with the King County Sheriff’s Office this morning, and here’s the summary they provided:
On Tuesday, August 18th just after 10 pm, deputies responded to reports of a robbery in progress in the 10000 block of 16th Avenue SW at a Smoke and Vape shop
The reporting party said he two people had robbed him and assaulted him by hitting him on the head with a gun; he was eventually taken to the hospital to have his injuries treated
He said the suspects stole cash and some merchandise
Deputies, including a K9, searched the area but did not find the suspects or make any arrests and this case remains under investigation.
If you have any information, contact KCSO and refer to case C26023216.
