Police search for suspects after 18th/Spruce street robbery

Police searched the area the King County Juvenile Detention Center in vain Saturday morning after a purse snatching was reported at 18th and Spruce.

No confirmed details from SPD at this time but according to police radio dispatches, police were called to the area after a woman reported having her bag grabbed around 9:30 AM.

Police set up containment as a K9 unit searched the area for two possible suspects described as black males — one with cornrows and wearing a grey hoodie and grey pants and the other in a red shirt and black jeans. Despite reports from residents who saw a person matching the description of one of the suspects in area backyards, police were not successful in their search.

  1. DOSEN’T SOUND LIKE THE SUSPECTS WERE BOEING OR MICROSOFT EMPLOYEES??? DO YOU SUPPOSE THEY WERE AFTER THE LIPSTICK IN THE PURSE.??? EVIDENTLY WHERE EVER THESE SUSPECTS WENT TO SCHOOL, THEY WEREN’T TAUGHT PROPER ECONOMICS / WEALTH BUILDING??? “PURSE SNATCHING” IS NOT A VIABLE FORM OF EMPLOYMENT AND IS QUITE COWARDLY!!!!

    IF CAUGHT IN GHANA WEST AFRICA THESE SUSPECTS WOULD DEFINITELY ONLY BE ABLE TO SNATCH A PURSE IN THEIR NEXT LIFE TIME. THE CULTURE DOES NOT TOLERATE THIS FORM OF SOCIAL / CULTURAL DISRESPECT FOR OTHERS, PARTICULARLY SOMEONES MOTHER, SISTER, DAUGHTER OR AUNT. THE “DEATH PENALTY BY CROWD” (NOT A PRETTY SIGHT) IF NOT RESCUED BY “UNARMED” POLICE, IS THE SWIFT PENALTY. ON THE OTHER HAND IF THE THIEF IS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE RESCUED BY THE POLICE AND SENT TO PRISON, PRISON CONDITIONS ARE SUCH THAT THEY WILL NEVER WANT TO RETURN!!!

  2. MUST you type in ALL caps? CAN you please recognize this as shouting? Or, do you SHOUT always?

    • Well, you are also partially shouting at him to stop shouting. Omari types like that. It’s really not that big of a deal. You don’t have to read the comment if you cant get over the caps lock. To most, it reads as shouting but I don’t think that’s his intention. I think that’s how he chooses to type. Stop trying to control how Omari types and stop trying to shove “internet rules” down his throat.

      • Good points Shammy. This is the internets. We expect substantial freedoms in expression. There are so many places for us all to go to be manipulated, controlled, and shut out. I is a damned shame that suppression in the bloggosphere is so rampant and comes from so many people. ALL CAPS IS JUST WORDS. Please pay more attention to the POINT of the MESSAGE.

      • Wrong. It’s called simple grammar and most of the civilized world abides by it. If not for that, we’dallbewritingLIKETHISANDITMAKESGETTING to the POINT quite a bit harder. It’s an asinine comment but to your point, I’ll just choose to ignore them moving forward.

    • Yalls sounds likes a bunches a uptightedness. Relaxes abits and it wone hurt so much. Seriously you people worry more about the style than the content and it makes me sick. Ya worry less about that a man was killed and freak about ifn nit ws dund wid er spoon ir nive.

  3. You’re correct Omari

    Lets just kill those kids who stole the purse

    GOOD IDEA!!!!
