An adult and juvenile were arrested following a daytime robbery in Bellevue. Yesterday at 11:57 a.m., Bellevue Police responded to a report of an assault and robbery in the 700 block of 148th Avenue SE near the Larsen Lake parking area. When officers arrived, they contacted the victim, who told police that he had been walking on the footpath adjacent to 148th Avenue SE when the incident occurred. The victim stated that a KIA minivan stopped in the road, and two suspects got out of the vehicle, demanded the victim’s shoes, and physically assaulted him. The suspects were successful in removing the victim’s shoes from his feet. The suspects fled in the KIA, which was later determined to have been stolen.
Bellevue Police advised surrounding jurisdictions of the suspect vehicle description. At 12:32 that afternoon, an observant Redmond Police motorcycle officer located the suspect vehicle near Redmond Middle School, which is located at 10055 166th Avenue NE in Redmond. Redmond Police detained four suspects after they fled from the vehicle, and Bellevue Officers responded. Two of the involved suspects, a 17-year-old male juvenile and a 19-year-old man, were ultimately arrested by Bellevue Police after having been identified as being involved in the robbery. The female driver of the vehicle was arrested by Redmond Police for possession of a stolen vehicle. The vehicle was recovered and returned to the owner.
