🚨Armed Robberies🚨
Last night at around 11PM, Tukwila officers responded to the report of a robbery at a convenience store in the 13100 blk Interurban Ave S. The suspects reportedly stole money from a customer and from the register. An individual present confronted the suspects at which point one of the suspects fired a shot at the ground in front of the victim. The suspects fled the scene immediately following the incident. Shortly thereafter, another armed robbery occurred at a convenience store in the 600 blk Strander Blvd. Based on the description of the suspects, the incidents are believed to be related.
