Last night at about 6:30 p.m., Bellevue Police responded to a reported carjacking in the parking lot of the Factoria Bank of America, located at 12727 SE 38th Street in Bellevue. Officers arrived quickly and contacted the victim. The victim told police that he had stopped to use the ATM in the bank, leaving his 10-year-old son in the vehicle. When the victim returned to his car, two men approached him and demanded his vehicle. One of the suspects knocked the victim to the ground, threw the victim’s son out of the vehicle, and stole the car. The suspects abandoned the vehicle a short distance away and fled in a white KIA sedan.
Later that evening at around 7:15 p.m., the same two suspects entered the AM/PM store at 1607 145th Place SE. One suspect pointed a pistol at the clerk inside and demanded cash. The suspects stole an undisclosed amount of cash and items from the store and fled in the same KIA, which was determined to be a stolen vehicle.
Bellevue Police Detectives have been assigned both cases and will be conducting a thorough investigation into these two incidents.
